Using ver 8.5

 
Hi I developed a solution through MS Access where I have a query running over another query result to get the result consistently.  Now I wanted to do the same for Crystal report.
 
I thought about using existing report and add a sub report - establishing which table/field as the link to the main report.  However, I need guidance as I am not familiar with Crystal report, but you can imagine I have two MS Access query - the first one produce the first result.  The 2nd query is then based on the 1st one with additional tables added on.  This is what I want to achieve on Crystal report 8.5.
 
Please can someone help.  Thanks

perhaps I rephrase the question differently.

Suppose I have a report with the data but then I want to use existing result and build further tables from the result using existing report.  Is this possible? and how do I use this?   Sorry if it wasn't clear but perhaps it's not possible from an expert point of view!?

you can create sub reports and use an item from the main report as a param to partially filter the data but this is likely not what you want to do. you can still use a query that uses a query as your source or write a more complex command object to do something similar
