Replacing a subreport

Individual subreports cannot be copied and pasted, because all subreports that a report might have, are directly created when the layout of a new report is chosen. However, it is possible to replace a subreport with another, already existing subreport. When you create a new report with several subreports, and one of these is to be identical to an already existing subreport of another report, you can replace this subreport with an existing one.

1. Select Reports in the left window pane.
2. Select the report you want to copy a subreport from in the left window pane.
3. Select its Subreports subnode the left window pane.
4. Select the subreport to be copied in the right window pane.
5. Select Edit > Copy .
    The subreport was copied to the clipboard.
6. Select the report you want to replace a subreport of in the left window pane.
7. Select its Subreports subnode in the left window pane.
8. Select the subreport to be replaced in the right window pane.
9. Select Edit > Replace .

The subreport selected in step 8 has now been replaced by the subreport from the clipboard. Its predefined column and format definitions were overwritten with those of the subreport from the clipboard.
