I'm not sure what you mean. If a subreport has nothing in it, this suggests there are no records to display and nothing from the subreport will display in the main report.
The cause for no records to display in a subreport can be traced back to the subreport's record source filtering or the filtering produced by the Link Master/Child properties.
