I have a subreport that requires subtotals for certain accounts (original amt + income - expense).  I have determined each accounts' subtotals through vb.net and now I want to print this in the details section.  Since this data doesn't reside in a container (ie. table).  I think I need to create a temporary table and link it to the subreport and just have the details print from this table which would be just 2 fields.
 
 
Does this sound right?

If you are creating the data in VB.NET and then opening the report via code, it is easiest to use formulas. Just create two formulas in your report that return a dummy value. Put those on the report where they are supposed to be. Then when VB.NET creates the report object, override the formula values using the following line of code:

myReportDocument.DataDefinition.FormulaFields("xxx").Text="999"


This overrides the current formula value with the new one.
