One report with embedded sub reports

Sometimes it is very convenient to produce reports which include other reports.
For example your boss might ask you to deliver him a single report which contains report summary from various sources.

DBxtra .NET makes it very easy to do just that.

Below you see 3 report pages which are all contained in a single report.

This sample "Sales – Summary 2" .

How to do that?

First  lets take a look at the underlying query.

As you can see it just a simple summary query.

Now lets open the report in Design view.

Click "SubReport" on the Standard Control box.

Drag and drop it the area where you want the sub report to be displayed.

Select an existing report for the sub report.

Optionally you can insert a page break after each sub report so each sub report keeps together.
