For example, if you want to use three subreports, insert two new Report
Footer sections so that you have a total of three Report Footer sections.

4.

In Report Footer A, place the subreport you want printed immediately
after the primary report. In Report Footer B, place the subreport you want
printed next, and so forth.

The primary report will print first and then the subreports in the order that
you placed them in the report.

Note:

Subreports can be placed side-by-side in the same Report Footer section.
They will print next to each other at the end of the report.

5.

Place the subreports into the Report Footer sections and they will print
sequentially after the primary report.

Using subreports with unlinkable data

Tables can be linked in a report as long as the following criteria are met:

The link fields are both database fields.

The link fields contain similar data.

The link fields are the same length.

The link field in the link to (lookup) table is indexed (PC databases only).

Linking tables is rarely a problem. However, there are some circumstances
in which you cannot coordinate data from different tables because the data
does not meet the linking criteria.

For example, linking to or from a formula field, or linking two unindexed tables
cannot be done in a single report. Subreports must be used.
