People -
I have a very imp question for you. I will explain an example below
which relates to my project. Please let me know if this can be done or
not?
Requirements: We need to show the content of two individual reports
(authors.rpt and employees.rpt) into another report (main.rpt).
Explanation: This mean the user will only open the main.rpt file and
this report acts as a place holder for the other two reports. The
main.rpt file has make a call to authors.rpt file first, populate all
the data and make a call to employee.rpt file and populate all the
data. When everything is done, main.rpt will have all the authors info
first and then employees second. The data comes from the two stored
procedures sp_authors and sp_employees.
I know that this can all be glued into one single file using sub
reports link of architechture. But the client is looking for seperate
files because of the ease of editing in future.
Is there a way to do this?? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
|

Although I am new to .NET, I am experienced in Crystal and this would be fairly easy using sub reports in Crystal.
From what I've studied, it looks like if you were to add 2 Crystal Report Viewers into one page, bind one to your authors report and the other to your employees report, you should be able to pull this off. The trickiest part would be getting the reports to reflect linked information, which may not be as difficult when using the crystal reports engine.
