Topic: Adding Subreport in a Subreport in crystal reports 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.

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??

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.
