Passing parameters to a sub report ...

[TheBionicOrange]

Right I hope I can explain this one properly ...

I have a report with a sub report in the detail area.
The records in my sub report need filtering by a date range.
I have 2 parameters, namely Start Date and End Date.
These parameters have been created in my main "Design" area.

Because this main area doesn't access the table whose data I need to filter I am having trouble filtering my records.

So .... what do I do ?

As far as I can tell the obvious thing would be to create the 2 parameter fields in the sub report, but then I would have the same problem in reverse, i.e. The main report won't see them.

Can anyone suggest any possible solutions ?

Thanks in advance for any help offered.
