Problem linking parameters

[morfasie]

Hi,

I have a table with fields char, char and auto increment number. In a sub report I wan to use that auto increment number as my parameter, but cannot seem to link to it.

Can you only link to char values in sub reportS?

Thanks

One solution is to convert the value in main report, maybe a formula field with ToText. Link to something suitable in the subreport and recover the value in the subreport.

Note that any link you make will be set as a selection criterion in the subreport. Unwanted selections can be commented out or deleted.

Sorry I forgot you must change the type of parameter to number in the subreport for it to work. Then you can link the two together!!

Thanks all
