Do I need to make copies of my parameter reports for subreports?

[topwaya]

I have read the threads on how to use a form for the main report to enter the parameters just once for all the subreports.

However, I use different forms for each subreport because when I run a subreport as its own report I can choose other parameters along with the start/end date. When I run it as a subreport I only want the start/end date parameters.

So, is the easiest solution to make copies of the reports (rpt1, rpt2) that I want to use as subreports and name them rsub1 rsub2? And change their parameters to point to the main report form?

Clear as mud? LOL - let me know if it doesn't make sense.
