I was given about 5 reports to develop and all of them had two sections that were identical for all reports. The rest of the report was unique to each one. So I took the same sections and turned them into sub-reports. Then of course in the main reports I added a sub-report link to the section reports respectively. I already realized benefit as had to make font changes etc. and doing it once was far better than 5 times. These reports are being built in BIDS and are working perfectly. I then took the rdl files and imported them into CRM 2011 the product where they will ultimately be used from.
It is here that my sub-report links break. In crm 2011 I can only choose ONE parent report for the sub reports. So if I set Master1 as the parent report for the two subs then Master1 will run flawlessly. However Master2-3-4-5 will run with the error Subreport could not be shown. If I set Master2 as the parent then Master2 will run flawlessly but 1,3,4,5 will fail?
Googling results in people suggesting to relink to the parent report....which is not my problem here.
I really hope I am just doing something wrong and that this isn't a limitation of CRM 2011.
TIA

Final Solution Based Upon Guido Preite Answer
So I created sub-reports in CRM for every report that needed them. However all sub-reports in CRM uploaded from the same rdl file. A bit of a mgmnt pain as stated by Guido but that is where we are at in CRM 2011 so...
