    Posted: 04 Feb 2007 at 10:12pm

Hi

I am coverting a report made in Access Application which contains subreports within subreports.The nesting is upto five levels deep.As Crystal reports do not allow adding of subreports within subreports,how do i deal with it.

Is there some other way to deal with the problem.Any suggestions and help will be appreciated.

Regards

Shaurya

You're kind of out of luck. One trick is to do hyperlinks to the other subreports, but that doesn't actually display the data within the detail report. It just lets you link to the next level deeper and open it in its own tab.

So it will be more like a web page in which the subreport containing another subreport will open up as an independent report triggered by the hyper link in main report??

Thanx for the solution
But is there no other way or some other workaround to display entire report in main report page

how about creating an rpt file as a subreport containing another subreport?

Ex.
-MainRpt.rpt
-PrimaryRpt.rpt
-SecondaryRpt.rpt
-LastRpt.rpt

-MainRpt(subs PrimaryRpt)
-PrimaryRpt(subs SecondaryRpt)
-SecondaryRpt(subs LastRpt)

Is this possible?

No. CR simply doesn't allow subreports more than one level deep. No way around it.

Hi.  So, you should be able to put subreports in a subreport but will have to keep it as a link which will open a new tab, correct?  If so, I'm fine with this.  Is there an example that someone could post?  I've been trying to do this but I think I'm missing something.

Thanks!
