Using parameters in SubReport, you can connect a SubReport to the parent report. By setting the parameter on the field that binds the parent report to SubReport, the parent report passes the data to display in SubReport through a parameter. This walkthrough illustrates the method to link the main report with a SubReport using parameters. 

This walkthrough is split up into the following activities:

Note: This walkthrough uses tables from the NorthWind database. By default, in ActiveReports, the NWind.mdb file is located in the [User Documents folder]\ComponentOne Samples\ActiveReports 9\Data folder.
Caution: SubReports do not render PageHeader and PageFooter sections.

When you complete this walkthrough you get a layout that looks similar to the following:
