2 reports within 1

[timtom]

Hi :o)

I am trying to create a report that is similar to a mobile phone bill.

The first page is a summary of usage which is like an invoice.
The second page is a list of the readings that make up that invoice.

I cannot see how to do this. i tried using groups but they are nesting as they do - what I need is to create a second, independant header/details/footer for the second page.

I hope this makes sense.

Thank you so much for your help

Hi timtom,

You can use a second report directly through the subreport item available. Give it a spin and let us know if it fits your needs.

Hi Steve :o)

Thanks for that buddy - that works so far.

My next problem is to display the correct data in both.

What I am trying to do is to print an Invoice and machine list for each invoice within the invoicing table - all in one large report.

I have created two reports - "invoice" and "machinelist" - the common link is InvoiceId.

I have then created another report called "bill".
the "bill" report is bound to the invoicing table with a single field called InvoiceId. I have added "invoice" and "machinelist" to the "bill" report (in the detail section.).

I then added InvoiceId to the parameters collection of each report and I get nothing.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks again buddy

Hi Tim,

You can refer to the following help article that explains how to connect the master report with the subreport. You can also review the following articles and movies:

• report parameters
• Subreports trainer
• Parameters trainer

Hope these help.
