Crystal Reports - Passing a current value of grouping field into a subreport as a parameter

I have a query with grouping on one of the fields in Crystal Reports. My question is - is there a way to pass that value into a subreport?

I.e. if there are three values in that field, there will be three groups in report. I want a subreport in every group to have that value as its parameter.

Is that possible to accomplish with CR 2008?

So, you have a field in your main report and you want to pass it to your subreport? Not a problem.

  1. Right-click on your subreport. Go to the Change Subreport Links submenu.
  2. Drag your field from the left menu to the right.
  3. Unselect the Select data in subreport based on field: option.
  4. Go into your subreport. Your field will appear in there as a parameter field.

So many ways to describe and answer a question. Does this help?
