Sub-report does not appear on main report

[warwica]

I have a sub-report which does not appear in the main report when I use the On Format event for the detail of the sub-report.

If I open the sub-report on its own with the On Format event then it works Ok and formats the sub-report detail as I want it to.

If I remove the On Format event and open the main report then the sub-report does appear but obviously is not formatted as I want it.

Is it not possible to format a sub-report in this way ?

Look around in Help for info on the order of events with reports, I have found it in there somewhere. I don't recall offhand the exact order of events, but you may be trying to close the barn door after the horses have escaped.

I've taken the code out of the sub-report and put it in the format event of the main report and it now seems to work.

Looks like I need to learn more about events.
