Getting return value from subreport without having to print the actual subreport

[phantastes]

Hi,

Not sure if anyone has had to deal with this but here it is. What I need to do is to not print a subreport with detail data when the user so chooses. The problem is that I get return parameters from the subreport that helps to populate the summary data.

Does anyone know if it is possible to return values from the subreport that can be used in main report, but then also supressing the actual printing of the subreport?

Thank you!

yes, I have done it a few times, and fairly straight forward,  just do everything as per normal and then on your subreport put a print expression on the detail band not to print it, will still process the detail rows as required to populate your variables and then pass back to the main report. 

Give it a shot and I know there are at least two recent posts around the same subject so might want to check those out.
