We have a report that was done in Crystal Reports that we call a 'Client Profile'. It is a snap-shot of all kinds of information about a client. The report is basically one Crystal report which executes 9 other individual Crystal reports. It produces multiple pages of output for each individual Crystal report. One report may show quantity of orders by product. Another may show revenue by State and so on. The main report prompts for a Client and time frame and those parameters are passed on to all the other reports. Is it possible to replicate this functionality in Impromptu and how would it be accomplished? I've tried to look into the use of Sub-reports but it seems like everything would have to be on one page.

 
Unfortunately Impromptu doesn't allow the same level of flexabilty as CR. Impromptu doesn't allow you to creat multiple page subreports in the same way as crystal.

I use both products and wouldn't attempt this in Impromptu.
