Hi,

What is the syntax to suppress the display of a record in a sub-report based on a value of the corresponding record in the container report?

Example....I have a table with values of A, B, C

Currently, if I select only A to be displayed in the container report, the subreport will still show values A, B, C.

How can I tell the subreport to only show value A when the container only shows A?

thanks!

You should be linking the subreport to the main report on the field that contains 'A'. Then when you limit the records in the main report to A values, the subreport will automatically be limited to those as well.

thanks...There's only one field I can use to link the two reports, and it's not the field that has the A, B, C values

But, I just realized you can link the subreport to the container report on more than one field....i'll give it a try. thanks!
