ok so here is what i have
subreport
has the data in GH1( I dont need to surpress)
has the formula:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar totals:=Sum ({@Monday}, {@client})+Sum ({@Tuesday}, {@client})+Sum ({@Wednesday}, {@client})+Sum ({@Thursday}, {@client})+Sum ({@Friday}, {@client})
in GH2

the main report has no grouping
it displays name in the detail section a

and I have the formula

WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS;
SHARED NUMBERVAR TOTalS;
TOTalS

in details b

the whole Idea is that the main report gets me a sample of names
the subreport gets data for each name on the main then totals by day
if the total > 0 then bold the name else regular font

Thanks for the info ...


so I took your advice and I groups the main report on name
if gh1 in main I put textbox with name
I also put the subreport in gh1
I redid the formulas using just monday to test
in subreport I created formula

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar mondayvalue:=Sum ({@Monday}, {@client})

and in main formula
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar mondayvalue;
mondayvalue

in sub
 formula sits in details while
data to display is in gf1(Grouped on name)


in main

I but the formula for mondayvalue in the detail section

its seems its OK (I think) but now the name seems to be one off

so the first monday value is 6 and name is not bolded
next name is bolded even though its 0

After if getting late and fustrating, on the ride home I thought of a way to do w/o a sub and its much faster since the sub doesn't need to look at each name individually.
I still need to practice the  sub/main passing of data

AT least I learned alot!!
