Shared Variables

[slickp]

Ok i'm using crystal 10, i have a report and a sub report and i would like a field from the sub report being placed into my main report. So i'm using shared variables. In the sub report my formula is:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar PTYPE := ({QUOTECLIENT.FSAClientType})

and in my main report my formula is:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar PTYPE;
PTYPE

I have split the group and put the subreport in the a section of the group and the above formula in the b section of the group.

However the correct information is not coming through from the subreport. Have i missed anything? Help?

Sorry plus i have the rest formula on the in the same group and the formula is as follows:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar PTYPE := "";

Try

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar
PTYPE:=PTYPE

If that fails, try displaying the value in the subreport, just to confirm it is there.

Exactly where in teh report have you placed the formulas and subreport, please be more accurate tahnd section a and b are they in group headers or footers ?

Ideally you should have the 3 objects in different sections in the order
