Report-Subreport Linking doesn't work

[lan yu]

Hi.

I have a problem with linking report and subreport. I set Link
Master/Child Fields to "Object ID". But subreport looks just the same
on every page.

To be more precise:

Subreport has the fields "Object ID" and "Object Type ID". When I run
the query it is based on, I get only one record:
Object ID Object Type ID
172 11

The Subreport is in the footer of the group "Object ID". When I view
the report there are in total 5 groups with different "Object IDs", one
of which is 172. But subreport displays Object Type ID = 11 in the
footer of every group.

There is also a Picture in my subreport, its data is loaded during
run-time based on Object Type ID, but I don't think the problem has
anything to do with it. Just in case I set a condition to only run the
code loading pictures if Me.Recordset.RecordCount >0.

I have never experienced issues with the Link Master/Child properties not
filtering subreports as expected. I would confirm the values and possibly
display the values of the link field in both the main and sub reports as a
confirmation. Make sure your properties are enclosed in quotes. They should
be like:
[Object ID]

I created another report to use as subreport - very simple, without
pictures. Then I did linking via the wizard. I still have the same
problem.

By the way, the wizard didn't include field names in square brackets.
But with them or without - it still doesn't work.

Did you try what I recommended for troubleshooting?

 

[lan yu]

Yes, i did. The parent report displays the value 172 while the
subreport displays all the values.

Then go back to the Link Master and Link Child properties to make sure they
are correct.

My actual field names are in Russian (I used [Object ID] to make it
more readalbe). Here are the actual values:

Parent report field name: ëÏÄ ÍÕÆÔÙ
Subreport field name: ëÏÄ ÍÕÆÔÙ
Link Child Fields: [ëÏÄ ÍÕÆÔÙ]
Link Master Fields: [ëÏÄ ÍÕÆÔÙ]
(I also tried it without square brackets)

None of the controls are named ëÏÄ ÍÕÆÔÙ.

Looks right to me =)

The names didn't come out right. Sorry. Anyway, they are exactly the
same.

I am at a loss since I have never seen a subreport that didn't respect the
Link Master/Child filtering. I would suggest you rebuild the report and
subreport but it seems you have already tried re-creating a simple example.

I guess I'll try to create new report and subreport based on the same
queries.

The fact that my subreport is in the footer section has nothing to do
with it, does it?

I mean "has it?"

 

[Duane Hookom]

I would expect the subreport to be in the header or footer of the linking
field group.
