Phil,
>Thanks for the response. I agree about Seagate's online support. Yuk.
>Fetch & Store:
>Well, they are supposed to enable you to get a value back from a subreport. Currently, you can have a parameter send a value from the main report TO the subreport, but you can't do it the same way to get a value back. For instance, if you generate a total in the subreport, and you want to use it in your main report.
>Theoretically, you should be able to call StoreNumberVar("TOTAL",SUM(whateveer)) in a formula in the subreport. Then in the main report you call FetchNumberVar("TOTAL") in a formula, and it should return the SUM that you stored!!
>After you install the UFL for Fetch & Store, then these new functions will appear in your function tree. FetchCurrencyVar, FetchBooleanVar, etc...
That's nice, I've been looking for something like that. I solved it another way, but the next time I need this, I'll remember.
Thanks,
>Unfortunately, I have been doing work for a client who's database odbc driver does not support outer joins. So I can only work with one table at a time in a report. So, I need to use a lot of sub-reports. And, since you can not nest sub-reports, I have the need to get a return value from the subreport.
