Shared string variable

[elaineva]

I created a Shared StrVariable in my subreport - link to the main report and display this subreport on my main report. When I look at this text field on the main report(from the subreport) - it is correct. I then created a Shared StrVariable in the main report and show that on the main report. It is correct and matches the subreport field - EXCEPT - if the str for that record is blank - then it pulls the last entry from the previous record.

Any suggestions??

Sounds like a reset issue of the shared variable.

Create the shared variable prior to executing the subreport, as in:

whileprintingrecords;
shared stringvar MyText := ""

and suppress it.

Now the variable is reset to blank so if the subreport doesn't update the variable, it's been set to blank.
