I DONT GET DATA FROM MY VARIABLE IF I SUPRESS THE SUBREPORT

[terenceb]

I AM RUNNING CRYSTAL 8.5 ON AN XP MACHINE PULLING DATA FROM A CASHE DATABASE.

REPORT STRUCTURE

GROUP HEADER 1 (SITE CODE)
GROUP HEADER 2 (CLIENT NAME)
GROUP HEADER 3 (CLIENT ID)(SUBREPORT)
DETAIL (SUPRESSED)
GPF 3
GPF 2 (VARIABLE)
GPF 1

My variable is LAD (Last Admission Date) if i dont supress the GPH 3 the variable displays, but I also get every admission date ever of the client in the GPH 3.

What am I doing wrong.

There must be a better way

That's true, it's the nature of the beast (annoying, ain't it?).

Shrink the subreport up to a widdle teeny thing. SOrry, that's the best I might offer other than to avoid subreports.

Yea it is a pain. What I do is suppress the fields and make them very skinny along with the subreport but do not suppress the subreport. That should work
