Previewing subreports

There may be times when you want to preview a subreport on its own instead
of previewing it as a part of the main report. For example, you may want to
preview the subreport in order to view and analyze the data for a particular
set of parameter values.

To preview a subreport

1.

Click the subreport's Design tab.

This tab is labeled with the name of your subreport.

2.

Click Print Preview on the Standard toolbar.

The program displays a preview of the selected subreport.

Saving a subreport as a primary report

You may find it advantageous to save a subreport as a primary report for
the sake of distributing the information to a variety of audiences. For example,
the primary report containing the subreport may be relevant for a stockholders
meeting at the end of the fiscal year; however, the data contained in the
subreport may be relevant for everyday use by your managers. In such cases,
it is easy to save a subreport as a primary report.
