Hello:
I have a report (created by someone else) that uses a subreport. I have both rpt files, for the report and the subreport. I had to make some minor changes in the subreport - field sizes changes - and I did it by modifying the rpt file that contained the subreport. However, the changes were nowhere to be found when I ran Preview for the main report. I then used 'Edit Subreport' and it worked.
My question is this. Once a report is used as a subreport, is it embedded in the parent report and does it lose its "umbilical cord" :-) from the rpt file it was inserted from? Somehow my expectation was that the parent report references the subreport and at runtime it reads the subreport from the rpt file. I now think this is incorrect.
Thanks
