Setting subreport Filter property in MDE database

I have an Access 2000 report that contains several
subreports. I would also like to deliver an MDE
database. Is there a way to set the Filter property for a
subreport within an MDE database?

Within an MDB I can open the report in design mode, set
the property and close it before I open the main report.
Opening a report in design mode is not allowed in an MDE
or runtime environment.

Any ideas?
 
Hi Jim,

Why not utilize the Master/Child Link properties of the SubReport?

Example for a SubReport that has nothing for the Link Master/Child Fields
properties:

- on main Report create an unbound textbox control that has for the
control source something like
=Forms![Form Name]![text box control]

(note: the result of the textbox control would be used to filter
subReport)

- For the Master/Child Link properties of the subReport set it to
something like

Link Master Fields: [the unbound text box control]
Link Child Fields: [control on subReport]

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.
