Not that I've spent the better portion of my weekend trying to figure this out......Censored
 
What I'm trying to do is have a high level report (Area Code, District and Region) with counts based on various columns.  The user will then be able to click on one of the districts (for example, on 416 East) -> this click will take them to a brand new report that will show them the information within this district, broken out by Manager (same columns on this report).  Clicking one of the names of the Managers will lead to another report, this one showing each of the employees under that manager (again, same column headers).  Finally, clicking on one of the employee's names will take the user to a report showing the data that went into each of the counts (so each of the column headers above will be a new section for this specific report).
 
Now, if that's not complicated enough, I need to have the user being able to click on one specific data point (416 East | Outstanding Orders, for example) and be taken directly to a report that will show them the data contained in this count.  Is this even possible, or have I been wasting my weekend trying to figure this out?  Everything I found in the User Guide and on line ended up having Crystal Reports asking me for my parameters everytime I tried to open a subreport - this can't happen - I want to be able to open the main report, which has no parameters (as it's Provincial) and then have the clicking on the data point be the parameter selection.
 
(Also, if there's a way to have a hyperlink or something back to the main report, that'd be really nice to.....)
 
OK, now that I've asked for the world, I'm going back to work...Thanks in advance to any and all who reply...

First: a subreport can't include another subreport.

I think that the first part of your report could be created with grouping with drill down functionality.

Another part (416 East | Outstanding Orders) would be best to create as a subreport.

When you add a subreport, you can link it with main report. That is the main report will automatically send a parameter to your subreport and data displayed can be selected with this parameter.
