    sub report

    Hi everybody!
    I want to know if there is an option to add a sub report to a report in vb6. I know that it can be done in access very easily, but I don't know how to do it in vb...
    thanks.
    Daniel

    Other than the printer object, VB has no reporting capabilities. What software are you using to produce this report?

    Re: sub report

    I meant sub-report for the datareport designer... sorry if it wasn't clear enough...
    In access I had no problem to make few sub-reports for every report... in vb I just can't find how...

    The DataReport is pretty limited and does not support sub-reports.

    Re: sub report

    The only reporting tool I ever used is Crystal Report which does support sub-reports and has loads of features. Not sure if the free version (4.6 - current version is 11) which comes with VB supports sub-reports. Check in the \Common\Tools folder your VB CD.

    It might be possible to simulate sub-reports in DataReport using a Hierarchical recordset but I would need more information about the layout and requirements of the report.

    Re: sub report

    Well... thanks... I don't have crystal report v.11... And the free one doesn't support it...

    My problem with your second idea, is that I need more then one sub report, and the report-writer doesn't support recoredset with two child commands...
    For more info about the exact structure I need you can look here
    Thanks alot
