I have a subreport that has one group and has the following formula in Group Header 1 WhilePrintingRecords; Shared StringVar TaskSubject := {activity_trans.subject}

My main report has the following formula in Group Footer 1 WhilePrintingRecords; Shared StringVar TaskSubject; TaskSubject

When I drill into the detail section of my main report the field shows a value in the GF1 section but when I preview the main report the field is blank.

The problem with putting the formula in the Group Header is that you only get one record for the formula, which usually is the first record available. If that first record is blank, then you will see no data. Your formula is correct, but there may be an issue with the way you have structured your report or the data you are trying to display.
