Have you looked at GenRepoX... It allows you to extend the VFP report writer extensivly... but, one of the most usefull features is allowing for multiple detail lines in the report. This is about as close as you can get to sub reports.

Another thing you can do, thatI have done succesfully, is create a function, the returns a string with all the data that needs to be in your 'sub' report.. then put the field on the report as streachable, and set the band as stretchable.

Also, I think Crystal 5.0 Pro allows you to embed reports within reports.. but I haven't used it personally.

Good luck,

BOb
