You return to the composite report or to the base report that includes the
nested report.
Adding another nested report to a composite report
After you have created a composite report, you might want to add another
report. The following procedure describes how. For information on adding a
nested report to a report that is not a composite report, see “Placing a related
nested report in another report” on page 321 or “Placing an unrelated nested
report in another report” on page 324.
❖ To add another nested report to a composite report:
1 Open the composite report.
2 Select Insert>Control>Report from the menu bar.
3 Click in the Design view where you want to place the report.
The Select Report dialog box displays, listing defined reports
(DataWindow objects) in the current project’s library search path.
4 Select the report you want and click OK.
A box representing the report displays in the Design view.
Supplying retrieval arguments to relate a nested report to its base
report
The most efficient way to relate a nested report to its base report is to use
retrieval arguments. If your nested report has arguments defined, you use the
procedure described in this section to supply the retrieval argument value from
the base report to the nested report. (The procedure described is part of the
whole process covered in “Placing a related nested report in another report”
on page 321.)
