Here's my problem:

I have a table of "order lines" (lines on an invoice) and a table of "orders". The order-lines table is related to the orders table via an order-id column (1 order has many order-lines). The order-lines table has a component-code column to keep track of the type of product ordered on that line.

I need to generate a report that lists ALL of the order-lines from each order that has at least one order-line with a component code of '49-003'.

I've written many reports, but this one has me stumped! I don't even know where to start. It seems like it should be easy, but I can't quite wrap my brain around it.

You cannot use a select expert for this one. If you do it will filter out all the other lines.
2 way for this to work.
 
1. Create a view or Stored Procedure in SQL to handle this.
2. Select all the orders and surpress anything that has a count of '49-003' less that 1

Thanks Dewald. I suspected as much.

1. Could you give me some hints how this can be done in SQL?
2. How do I count the '49-003's?

You would need to create a Stored Procedure.
 
You shoudl have an inner query that accepts a parameter (the component code). In the inner query you would select the order number for the component.Then you would join the inner query to an outer query on the order number. Thereby selecting all the order lines for all orders that has this component.
 
Hope this is crear enough.

If you are using a Command for the sql you could do it using 'exists'
Something like
 
select order_id, order_line fields from orders O join order_lines OL
on order_id (or whatever)
where exists (select 1 from order_lines OL1 where code = '49-003'
and OL1.order_id = O.order_id)
 
I'm doing this off the top of my head,  that is probably not the right syntax but it might give you the idea.
