I have a report that takes two dataviews generated prior to calling the report generator.  The first report or top report reads the inventory contained in boxes.  The second sub-report reads inventory that are loose items.  If there is data in each dataview, the reports run perfectly.  If the first or top report has no data, then the second report does not run either.  Is there a way to do a conditional test on the first database, and just jump to the sub-report.  Parameters are passed to the sub-report from the first as well (sub totals, weights, etc.)

I have the same problem and it is driving me nuts. My master report has data in the details section and 3 subreports in footers b,c, and d. If there is no data returned in the master, then the sub report in fooret d does not run.  Sometime the sub in footer c also fails but I cannot see any patters for this yet.

I thought it might be something like this, but I link on a group field which is a parameter and a shared formula field. The master report does return zero records but in theory the group field should still contain the parameter data and the shared formula should contain zero....i think.
