Can't you just have the main report pass the parameter to the sub reports?

>>Hi Dan,

>>I am very new to Crystal. Can you provide a bit more detail please? I am not sure what you mean by "scan through." At design time, I am setting the parameter in the Select Expert for all of the reports. At runtime, I create the variable, then pass it when I call the main report. I call the report as follows:
>>
>>lcCID = V_CASE.cID
>>
>>If ! .OpenReport('Jacket.rpt')
>> Messagebox(.cErrorMessage,MB_ICONSTOP,'Report Error')
>>ELSE
>> .SetReportParameter('vp_ccase_cid', lcCID)
>> .Preview()
>>ENDIF

>>Thanks,

>>>You can scan through the report objects looking for a "sub-report" object, then set the parmeters in the sub-report just like you do in the main report.
