Topic: Subreports save location Posted: 11 Jun 2013 at 3:56am
Last question and this report will be finished.....
I have added two subreports to this report. As this is my first time doing this im not sure how Crystal handles this. Now that the report is complete I need to move the location of the report file to the active reports directory. do i need to move the two subreports I added or now that they are added to a report are they permanatly part of the main report?

Are your two subreports their own files, or are they part of your main report? If part of the main report, they exist with the main report. Otherwise, you may need to 'locate' the subreports again should the main report be moved.
To test, simply save your main report as a new name mainreport1. Then relocate it, and see how it operates? That way, you will learn but still keep the original in good working order.

good question.
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that they are part of the report and don't need to be moved.
With that said, I would move them so that I would move them for consistency sake.
Well, as a test, copy the report to new directory and or rename the original subreport files and then go into the design and see if you can edit the subreports in the report.

FYI: Once you add a subreport to a report. It becomes part of the main report (unlike MS Report Builder). If you want, you can save off a sub-report (handy for re-useability).

NOTE: I believe if you use an existing report to insert as the sub report and you select the 're-import when opening' as true on the Format SubReport > subreport tab option that it will automatcially update the sub report when you change the original report (as long as you do not alter the name or location of the file). Therefore you can manage or alter multiple reports that share one subreport.
