Display a sub-report even without report data

[AccessMc]

I have a report which displays details about stock items that are below their re-order level, and a sub-report which displays the same information for items which have been manually ordered. I'm making these as seamless as possible, which is so far working out fine.

However, if the main report doesn't display any items needing re-ordered, but should be displaying items manually ordered, these manual orders don't appear because the report has no data.

Long winded explanation, but is there any way to display a sub-report manually even if there is no report data for the group?

If both reports are linked on common information appearing on both reports then reorder items must be present in the main report to display the contents of sub-report.

If they are not linked then at least one record must be present in the main report to display the contents of sub-report.

Take a look at this example that explains what to do when there is no source data for report:
