Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody could tell me if there's a way to import one
report into another, like Java import statements/C++ include statements?
i.e. Say i have a report called Car, and i have a report called Tires. I'd
like to have Tires be a subreport in Car. Is there an import statement of
sorts to make this happen? I'd prefer not to cut and paste the contents of
Tires into the Car report.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Sev

Hi,
Thank you for your response. I was wondering if there was a way to do this
programmatically instead using the Report Engine API? Some sort of hack
until 2.0 is released?
Thanks again,
Sev

No, you've misunderstood me, i think :-) What i'd like is a way to write a
subreport once, and import it into many different main reports without
having to copy and paste the actual contents of the subreport into each
report.
Thanks,
Sev
