Conditional Printing

[Kevin Sprinkel]

I have a report, consisting of 10 subreports that prints a
comparison between our firm's estimates of construction
projects and the actual bid results. The output,
simplified, looks something like:

Phase Cost Delta Notes
CD Estimate $100,000 1%
Bid - Low $101,000 $259/SF

If, however, we have a category breakdown, we would like
to print the word "Total" next to the $/SF, like:

Phase Cost Delta Notes
CD Estimate $100,000 1%
Bid - Low $101,000 $259/SF Total
$25.00/SF HVAC
$17.23/SF Electrical
$1,000/AC Sitework

My problem is that the added data is printed in a
different subreport than the aggregate data. Can anyone
tell me how to determine in the first subreport whether
there are any category breakdown detail records associated
with the project?

Thanks for all help.

Kevin:

You can reference a different subreport like this from a subreport:
