I need some help in Archibus/FM with Crystal Reports.
My goal is to implement some Archibus forms that will print out some reports from Crystal Report.
I´m trying to build a form that will execute a report, but the report as a subreport in it. So the form does not work well.
If someone could help me with this, please post it to me.

Thanks,

That would depend on the version of Crystal, and how you're invoking reports.

I also tried to search for something helpful without success.

As a general rule, you need to set the subreports connectivity and parameters, which is often overlooked in VB, etc.

The version of Crystal Report is 8.5 and the language that i use is BasicScript from Summit Software, because Archibus is developed with that program.
For getting the fields that will be used in the report, i use a form that calls an external function that is responsable for the connection to the Crystal Report and passing it´s values.
But if a subreport is present it can't pass the values, meaning that the connection between the main report and the subreport will not be acomplished.

So that's my main problem. The external function that i use wasn't made by me, and quite frankly i don't understand it very well.
