Re: Report to Report Linking(Hyperlink) in Crystal Reports

Hi,

There are two 'linking' options:

1. use an 'on-demand' subreport - this is a report embedded in another report. it is NOT generated until its link is clicked. 'standard' subreports are generated at the same time as the 'main' report. in either case, a subreport can NOT contain another subreport.
2. create a hyperlink to another report by setting a field's Hyperlink property (choose the 'A Website on the Internet' option). if you create a conditional formula (the 'X+2' button), you'll have more control over the URL that is generated. you'll probably want to create a controller page (like 'view_report.aspx') that parses the querystring for the report's id, opens the report, authenticates, add parameters, generates the report, then returns it.

Use option 1 for the summary, then use option 2 for the item's details.
