Does a sub-report automatically take the same parameters as the report that calls it?

[MarcieFess]

I have what I hope is a simple question.

I have a report that is mostly hard-coded (wish I could do it in Microsoft Word instead), with information from the database determining which of 2 graphics for checkboxes is printed.

It's a 6-page report printed landscape, but Access will only allow me to fit 3 pages doing it this way.

I created the first 3 pages like this, then I created a sub-report with the final 3 pages and embedded the sub-report at the end of the main report.

My question is, will the sub-report automatically have the same data limits as the report that called it? This report is done by store and references a temporary table.

Select the box containing the subform and set the values for Link Master fields and Link Child fields in the Data properties tab. These will be linked and have the same data limit (regarding the link field(s)) since the subform depends on the input of the parent form, even if the row source for each form is different.

It's saying I can't build a link between unbound forms? The subform is embedded in the main form...so why is it saying that?

Are the rowsources of your main form and subform properly set? And if so, can you post the queries or give some info about the tables? What probably is missing are two fields which can be connected.
