Subreport and Save

[Steel via AccessMonster.com]

I added a report (report A) to another report that I have created (report B)
as a subreport and then saved these combined reports as report C. I then
used the sorting/grouping feature to add page headers in the subreport and
also made several changes to the subreport. Now I would like to save the
changes that I made to the subreport only in report C but not change the
formatting that I have with report A (report sourced by subreport). When I
go to close out the combined report (report C) I am given the option to save
changes to report A, report C, or both. If I try only to save changes to the
combined report (report C) these changes are not saved. If I save to both
report A and report C, report A by itself is no longer formatted correctly
when opened by itself. How can I only save changes to the combined report
(report C).

Hope this isn't too confusing.

Steel:

in a few words, you can't do what you are trying to do. The sub report is
embedded in the main report. Any changes to the sub report will be
propagated to the main report as well. If you need a different layout of
the report as a sub vs. as a stand alone you've got to use two different
report objects.
