[AccessD] SubReports

Virginia,

I am ashamed at you expressing such disbelief and disapproval at the NEW AND
IMPROVED FEATURES OF A2K!!!

Welcome to the "let's make it better and change everything around" world of
M$.

In theory, the subreport should be "transparent" now, i.e. you should see
the controls etc inside the subreporta (and subforms).  In order to select
the subreport itself, one way is to click OUTSIDE the subObject, ten click
the little gray square in the upper left corner ONE TIME.  If you keep a
property box open as you do this you can watch the property box to see what
object you have selected.

You then "drill down" into the sub object clicking again and yet again.  In
fact the first click SHOULD show you the properties of the sub object
CONTROL on the main object.  Next click will show you properties of the
sub-object (sub report / sub form).  Next click will show you properties of
the object inside the subreport/form such as the header, a control etc.
depending on what you are clicking on.

So as you can see, this is all "new and improved".

Ok - what is the trick to selecting a subreport in report design? In 97 all
I had to do is click on the report & it would open for modifications. In A2K
I can't even select the report.
