Referring to subreport fields from main (container) report....

All--
Is it possible, from within the context of a main report that contains
several subreports, to write code in the main report that refers to field
values within one or more of the contained subreports? (I would like to
display totals in the main report that are sums of quantities displayed in
several subreports.)
TIA,

The closest you can get to that is to include the same datasets in the
main report that exist in the subreports and use an expression similar
to the following:
=Sum(Fields!Quantity.Value, "SameDataSetAsUsedInSubReport")
Hope this helps.
