Using SubReports in Calculations

[Smithsc]

I've got a main report which contains 4 sub-reports. Each of these subreports creates a shared variable which I want to use in the main report. The subreports are sitting in the detail section but I want to use the variables in the report header.

Is there any way I can force the subreports to run before the calulation in the report header.

I am using Crystal XI.

Many thanks for any help.

you would need to split the report header into multiples (A, B, C, etc) and then put copies of the subreports in them and put the shared information in the bottommost Header.

For example:
--page Header
Page Number
--Report Header 1
SubReports
--Report Header 2
