would I be correct in saying that Subreport Linking in Crystal Reports 8 follows the same linking rules as in the visual linking expert?
 
Sort of.

If you're talking about linking tables in the subreport, the same sort of linking RULES apply (i.e., inner join, left join, etc.), but since the subreport is actually a separate, embedded entity, it doesn't necessarily have to use any of the TABLES in the main/parent report.

If you're referring to the field/data links between the main & the subreport, the "Insert Subreport" wizard creates a formula in the subreport that's used to "catch" the linking value passed from the main report.

Does that help?
