table inside a table or subreport inside a table

Hi,

Is there a way by which i can put table inside a table or a subreport inside a table.\

I have tried subreport inside a table, the subreport itself is a table, it is getting compiled but when i try to run it, it gives me error that 

Subreport overflowed on a band that does not support overflow.. Stacktrace follows:
Message: Subreport overflowed on a band that does not support overflow.

I have checked printdetails when overflows in all report.

Can anyone suggests what is wrong?

The requirement:

the header should not print on one page and data on other.

I have tried subreport as well but sometimes the header is in one page and the data is in the other.

Any solutions?
