Topic: Conditional Formatting Problem Posted: 10 Dec 2010 at 2:26am
I have a calendar report that I am using and each day of the week is a subreport. On the main report I want the subreport name to say how many records are in each subreport. I just can't get the number of records to display. No errors just get the number 0. I am using shared variables and can't get it to work. Any ideas? I can elaborate if needed.
subreport function
Shared numberVar Records := count ({*********.*********});

the count from the subreport cannot be utilized until after the report is completed. So unless the header and the report are on the same line, it is doubtful that this will work. If the header is above the subreport, it definitely won't work.
The TERRIBLE work around would be to call the subreport in a band above the header, report the value in the header and then call it again.

Wow yeah that seems like quite a bit of work and I don't think I could do that with the setup of my report. I think its pretty stupid that you can't name the subreport with the info generated in it yeat you can display the information within the report on the main page. Just so everyone is clear when I say title or name the report I am just talking about the subreport caption on an on-demand subreport. Thanks for the advice though lockwelle
