Accessing subreport variables from master

2004-12-02 02:07

I have a master report that I desire to display a total that

is calculated by summing up various fields retrieved from

a subreport. Is there a way for the master report to reference

these fields or values from the subreport?

 

My master/subreport layout is something like

the following where I want Total Size to be

the sum of the individual sizes from the subreport:

Master

{

...

Total Size: 5000

...

SubReport

{

ID Size

A 400

B 3500

C 1100

}

}

 

Unfortuneately, it's not an option to move the

Total display into the subreport...

 

Thanks, -Andy W.

I have the same problem, but I'm going to try the above suggestion.
