Linking reports

[nikol]

Hi,
Can I link two parameter fields in subreports?

Why would you link parameters within a subreport?

You can link parameters from a main report to parameters in a subreport, although you're probably better served to link (called join in Crystal) the main report parameters to the fields in the subreport so as not to have multiple parameter prompts.

Actually, I created a report with a Parameter field_1, which has few subreports. I linked all subreports with Parameter Field_1. Now I have to add one more parameter_2 in the report. When I linked the parameter_2 in subreports,its giving me multiple Detail Sections of each report.
Any help where I'm wrong.

Where are the subreports?

Adding a parameter shouldn't add details sections.

Each subreport does have it's own detail section though.

I have four subreports(already saved) as age,gender,zipcode,race.I created a dynamic prompt(Provider) on these reports which will display certain providers with their age,zipcode,race..& I linked all four subreports by Prompt(Provider). It was working fine.
Now I have add one more Dynamic Prompt(Quarter)which will give certain provider for certain quarters. So,I added a quarter prompt. & linked to just a single report age for test purposes. Its giving my 15 age report o/p.(Need only 1 report).I dont now why it is so?
I hope I explained well my problem..
Thanks for ur time.

Hey!
I tried to run my same report with 1 parameter field its working but when I add 2nd parameter field I get multiple detial sections like da,db,dc,da,dba,dc,da.....
I linked both the parameter columns from available fields- to -fields to link.
Still looking for help

I'm sorry that I don't understand.

What does "I linked both the parameter columns from available fields- to -fields to link." mean?

Parameters aren't available fields, they are separate entities, however you can prepopulate them from columns.

I would suggest that what you're getting is a subreport with multiple detail sections that is within a group to show up, but it's hard to say.

Perhaps if you described where the subreport is in the main report, and if the subreport has multiple detail sections.
