Working with nested reports

When you use nested reports either in composite reports or in other base reports, several enhancements and options are available. An easy way to see what you can do is to select the nested report and look at the Properties view for it.

Many of the options in the Properties view are described in Chapter 19, “Enhancing DataWindow Objects.” For example, using borders on nested reports is like using borders on any control.

This section describes activities that apply only to nested reports or that have special meaning for nested reports. It covers:

“Adjusting nested report width and height”
“Changing a nested report from one report to another”
“Modifying the definition of a nested report”
“Adding another nested report to a composite report”
“Supplying retrieval arguments to relate a nested report to its base report”
“Specifying criteria to relate a nested report to its base report”
“Using options for nested reports”
