subreports in main report

[Injun]

Can u have multiple subreports in one report?
If so how do u set the datasource?

Dim DSOrders As New MDataset()
filldataset(DSOrders)


Dim RD As New MainReport() ' this is the mainreport.rpt
Dim RO As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject
Dim SRO As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject
Dim SubDoc As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument


RO = RD.ReportDefinition.Sections.Item("Section3").ReportObjects.Item("Subreport1")
SRO = CType(RO, CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)
SubDoc = SRO.OpenSubreport(SRO.SubreportName)
SubDoc.SetDataSource(DSOrders)


This works for the 1st subreport if there is only one subreport.

I tried the same code with different variable names for the 2nd subreport and it displayed the 2nd report right and the 1st subreport came back empty.

What is the best method to have multople subreports in a report?
Each subreport is from different tables.

Any help appreciated

thanks

Here's half an answer for you: Crystal has no problem handling one container report with many sub-reports. One A level report, many B level reports (note: NO c level reports)

How to address these from within 3rd party code, is the other half of the answer... sorry I don't have it.
