Expected output
If you speak of subreports, include what you are linking on, and where in the main report they are presented, and what their purpose is.
What Turk was alluding to is that a subreport is linked by something, that is if you're in the details or a group section, and will fire for every row within whatever section you place it.
So if the main report has four distinct enetities returned for the group, the subreport returns data 4 times.
You state what you don't want, but not what you do.
Show the data, and whaat the subreports are supposed to do, and keep in mind that subreports are inefficient and to be avoided whenever possible.
