shared variable from subreport one record behind 1

[amoeba102]

I have a subreport named 'Accomodation' that is placed in a group header. It has a shared variable that passes back either "None" or "OK" to the main report. The main report either displays the fields from the subreport (if the shared variable value was "OK&quot or displays a warning (if the shared variable value was "None&quot.

It works perfectly except for one thing. It is always one record behind. In other words, the second record is being acted upon based on the values that should have applied to the first record, and so on.

I'm sure it's something stupid I'm doing, but I don't see it. Can someone give an assist?

It sounds like you haven't got the subreport in a separate group header.

Goto Report>Section Expert click on the group header the sub-report is currently in and click on insert. T=You will now have group header a and b.

Place the subreport in group header a, and put the rest of the items formally in the group header in group header b.

let me know how you get on.....
