Does anyone know how to send a selection formula or group selection formula
to a subreport from VDF? I haven't been able to locate any documentation on
this.

Thanks

Just set the selection criteria with formulas in the main report from
VDF and then create some shared variables using these values and use the
shared variables in the subreport.

Charlene.

As sam said create create formula fields in the report to be set from VDF
..Edit subreport links (right click in the subreportt box and tie up the
formulas betweeen the report and the subreport fields or formulas. Include
the report formula or subreport formula as your seleccion in the subreport.

Edit links in the subreport does exactly that for you. Sets a seleccion
criteria based on the fields and formulas on both report and subreport.
Actually it will write some code for you in the subreport selection section.

Sam, Charlene,

This could be a possibility but you can directly set the selection formula
of a subreport.
You can use and modify the code to set the file locations to set the
subreport selection formula.
The code to modify the filelocations has posted several times in the
newsgroup.
