Hello, I am new to CR and building my first report.  I am just wondering if what I want to do is possible, and if so, what would be the best way to go about it.  Here is what I am doing.
 
My report is a listing of purchase orders.  The fields of the report are;
 
purchase order #
amount of purchase order 
purchase order amount paid 
 
These purchase orders also have a 'Description' field which is very long and therefore not in my report.  But, this field is very helpful in identifying the purchase order for users. Is there a way I can make it so if a user clicks on the 'Purchase Order #' field they can view the description somewhow?  Or, is there some other way to make the 'Description' field available on-demand?
 
Thanks.

you can do this as drilldown on a group or as a sub report

On the drill-down I tried putting the 'Description' field in Detailsb, but if I try to hide details b, it hides details a as well.

you can conditionally suppress using drilldowngrouplevel

details a as drilldowngrouplevel>2 (assuming you never want it suppressed
details b as drilldowngrouplevel=0

Took some playing around, but I got it figured out with your suggestion.  Thanks!
