I have a number of reports that need to be both run separately and also as a group.
I've created these reports and was hoping I could just create a form where I could just append report1, report2, report3, etc. together without creating a different report and making all of those reports subreports.
Is this possible?
Edit: I'm displaying it in the .NET WinForms control, but it will also be exported to PDF and perhaps DOC, XLS etc...
Create a third report that has the first N reports setup as sub-reports in the header one after the other. Why is this not a good option for you?
Possibly you could post-append. What is the output format?
Definitively the best to do it is using subreports, less coding, less trouble for you.
use the option Kieveli suggested and show and hide the subreports depending on the user's choice if you want a more dynamic solution.
