Using iReport 5.2: In the master report, click on the subreport, and find Parameters in the Properties box. Click on the ... button to open up the Parameters dialog. Click Add and type in a name for the parameter. You will see a button on the right. Click it and you will see all the parameters, fields, and expressions from the master report. Select the field you want to use. Click OK twice to save all this. In the subreport, create a parameter with the same name as the one you just entered in the master report. Now use it like any other parameter, That's all there is to it.

I am sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I am using Styles to apply a Conditional Styles that checks the modulus of a group count and applies the style when the modulus equals zero. As I said, this works well, and the styles applies across the page, even for blank fields UNTIL I uncheck Print Repeated Values. Then it doesn't apply to blank fields, giving the page a very unsatisfactory appearance.

I have a zebra style (alternating gray and white bands) defined and operating well on my report. I also have "Use blank when null" turned on for all the detail fields. Everything looks good, the zebra effect even showing up on the blank fields. But when I uncheck "Print repeated value" the zebra style fails for the blank fields. What should I do?
