Showing different views of the same data
in a report
Subreports can be used to provide a different view of the data in the primary
report. For example, you might want to show summary values at the top of
a report and details at the bottom.
This can be done in a variety of ways. The two easiest methods are:
• By creating the summary report as the primary report and the details
report as the subreport. In this method, the details subreport would be
placed in the Report Footer section.
• By creating the details report as the primary report and the summary
report as the subreport. In this method, the summary report would be
placed in the Report Header section.
