	I'm placing a summary in group header so I have to create a subreport. I am entering a start date and end date and will be using that to filter the query results. If I created the same parameters in the subreport, I will get 4 parameter prompts in total. How do I pass the two values to the subreport?

	do not create params in the subreport but rather turn the main report params into formulas and use the formuals as sub-report links.

	Alright, didn't know about the links feature. Now it works well.

	i think you figured it out, but you just have to edit the subreport links and use the SAME parameter as the main report. here is a picture to show the screen
