SUB-REPORTS - PLEASE HELP

[meljon12]

Firtsly I hate these things!

I'm using a sub-report as a summary page to a main report. When I inbed the sub-report in the main report and link 3 parameters in the main report (this has 12 parameters in total) to 3 parameters in the sub-report and run the report it works fine.

However if I make any changes to my sub-report, even just adding a text box, and then re-open my main report and run it, I don't get any records. When I do an edit of the sub-report within the main report and look at the Select Expert, I notice that the Select Expert has tried to link my parameter fields on some random database fields, which is why the report doesn't get any records.

The only way I can get round this problem is any time I edit the sub-report, I have to re-insert the sub-report into the main report and the set my sub-report links. This is a far from satisfactory solution. Incidentally I have the Option 'Re-import subreports when Opening Repors' selected

ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT I'M DOING WRONG OR IS THIS JUST A BUG!?

Have you tried NOT using the Reimport feature? Are you making the changes within the main report, or outside, and reimporting it? Once you put your selection formula in correctly, CR should not change it when you make changes to the report. However, I could see the reimport messing up the links and selection. Ken Hamady
