Hey Siva21,
i'm afraid there is somthing wrong with the linking then as that should work perfect as you discribe
first you make the 2 parameter fields in the subreport called datestart / datestop (or what ever)
then you richt click on your main report and select the sub report linking menu.
On top there you select the subreport you want and you drag in your 2 main report parameter fields to the other side.
you select the first parameter and then in the bottom you select the correct parameter of the sub report
repeat for the other parameter
this should do it
