#### To link a subreport to the data in the primary report

1. If you are creating a new subreport or importing an existing report as a subreport, from the `Insert` menu, click `Subreport`. Choose or create a report and click the `Link` tab.

   - or -

   If you have already placed a subreport in the primary report, but did not create a link at setup, navigate to the Subreport Links dialog box by choosing `Subreport Links` from the Edit menu.

   The Subreport Links dialog box appears.

2. Choose the subreport you want to link from the `For subreport` list (if it is not already selected).
3. Select the field you want used as a link field in the primary (containing) report from the `Available fields` list.
4. Click the arrow (>) button.

The field is added to the Field(s) to link to list box, and is now selected as a link field.

1. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each additional link, as desired.
2. Use the Field link section (which will only appear if you have selected a link field) to set up the link for each link field:
   - select the field you want linked to the primary report from the Subreport parameter field to use,
   - select the Select data based on field check box on and select a field from the adjacent drop-down list to organize the subreport data based on a specific field (this is the quick equivalent of using the Select Expert). If nothing is specified here, the subreport will adopt the organization of the primary report.
3. Click OK.

When you run the report, the program will coordinate the data in the primary report with the data in the subreport.

Note: The field type of the Containing Report field determines which subreport fields are visible. Because the Report Designer reads dates as either strings, dates, or date/time fields, you must make sure your subreport parameter field type matches the field type set up in Report Options in the main report for the field you want linked.
