	technically you can do this but you may want to create a sub report for one of them instead. Use one query in the main report to display what you want and a the other in the sub report to display what you want without linking there. Adding 2 unlinked tables or queries can cause some issues and you will allways get a prompt indicating this.

	I have done the sub report which kind of works but god i can not get the layout right. I have the following report header page header details a first query details b (sub report) report footer page footer the problem is the first query is being broken up line by line by the insertion of the sub report

	Don't use the detail section. Place it on a header or footer. When a sub report is on a detail it will rerun it for every instance that it has a row in the details.

	Use the Report header or Report Footer, not the page header or page footer or it repeats for each page. You can also add an extra header or footer secion if needed (RHb/RFb)
