Design Advice/Help regarding sub reports

B

I currently have two separate reports that I would like to merge:
The first Report contains:
1-line page Header (across the top of the page)
1-line Group (Score) Header (across the top right half of the page)
Multiple Detail lines (down the right half of the page)

The second Report consists of a group of text boxes which form a
table-like display that is about 2-3" square. (Note: For the merged
report, this table-like display would remain fixed in content much like
a header only bigger.)

Because of the size of the table-like display of text boxes, I cannot
put it in the Group (Score) Header area because it would force that
header to be about 3" deep (too big).

I was thinking that sub reports would be the way to go, but I have never
used sub reports before?
I was thinking of using the first report's Header and the second
report's text boxes on the main report and putting the details on a sub
report? Recommendations please?

You probably need to use a main report and subreport. Remember, the main
report needs to be the one side, or lookup if you will, and the subreport
needs to be the data you are looking up on that person or thing. The
subreport wizard will help you create those and link the subreports to the
main report. Follow the suggestions of the wizard and you should be ok.
