referencing subreport value

What is the syntax to reference a subreports returning value?

I need to subtotal values returning from a subreport, but I don't know how to reference it.

Thanks,

Hi,

From your description, it seems that you want to reference a subreport in the parent report, right?

Based on my knowledge, you cannot reference a subreport from the parentreport. I suggest that you should have a DataSet in the parent report which achieves the summing work from the datasource or just create a subreport with the subtotals you need.

Thanks.

I found out a way to this with a subreport. Nevermind.

Neither of your suggestions will work because the data in my subreport is referencing a child table.

I cannot use a subreport to do the summing because I need to attach these values when a group changes.

Any other ideas?
