Print Subreport Date Paramenter on Main Report

[stuckDuck]

Help Appreciated! My subreport has date parameters in the page header. I would like to print that date parameter in the page header of the main report.

I tried a shared variable to no avail

Sub:
whileprintingrecords;
shared datevar x:={?end_date};

Main:
whileprintingrecords;
share datevar x:
x = x;

The main report prints true.

Just use the following in your main report, in a section below the one containing your subreport.

whileprintingrecords;
shared datevar x;

in a section below the one containing your subreport.

Is there a workaround for this? My subreport is in the group footer but I need the date in the page header.

Let's back up --I actually think you should just create the same parameter in the main report, link it to the subreport parameter in the subreport linking screen by using the dropdown in the lower left of the screen to select {?Date} instead of {?pm-?Date}, and then add the main report parameter to the page header.
