Multiple Detail Sections in one Report

Guest

I have multiple pieces of unrelated data that I am trying to compile into one
report. I acquire the data using a Microsoft Excel web query, on about 10
worksheets. I was trying to then link the data into Access tables to create
the reports, as parts of the information are variable in the number of lines
(Logbooks which vary in number of entries, etc.). If I could create multiple
detail sections in an Access report, that would solve the problem. I have
tried pulling sub reports into the detail section, however the sub report is
repeated after each line of the main report entries. Is there a way to
accomplish what I am trying to do in Access? I am a beginner with Access.

Thanks

Put your subreports into a section that only runs once like the Report header or
footer.

I think that is your problem, that is that one word "unrelated"

You are going to need to be more specific about the data and what you
want to do, but you need to be able to tell Access exactly what you want on
the report, and that would be very difficult if you are trying to display
unrelated data.
