How is data from filtered records (from a given table) linked to the report form (or subreports) for that table? Example: I have 200 records in Table1--by filtering (i.e., by date) I now have 25 records selected--but when I bring up the report/subreports it still shows the data from all the records in Table1. How can I make only this filtered data from these 25 filtered records show up in the report/subreport--instead of the data from all 200 records?
 
howdy!

go into the main report. open the properties of the sub-report. you will see the 'link child/master properties' directly below the 'source object property'. there is a wizard to aid in linking your columns. this will USUALLY give you the intended results.

take note: access will sometimes fail to link sub-reports correctly. if you encounter problems, there are a couple recents threads about this subject.

cheers
