subreport not printing data

edited December 2003 in Subreports
I am having a perplexing problem with a nested subreport:

I show some data in the parent subreport and then try to show additional
data from a different table in a subreport below it. There two elements
to the report (two different primary subreports).

The first one works fine. The second one doesn't. Each of them have a
nested sub report handling a second table.

The second one (which is failing)is a columnar report (left to right)
The second one uses different tables as well. The index arrangements
appear to be correct and the data is correct when I view outside of
report builder.

So far, the only time I came close to sucess with the second one is
after monkeying with various properties it prints one line of data after
blowing away the columnar report (meaning it prints only one column per
page) and then only prints one line of data on a separate page.

Is what I'm doing possible? Is there an issue with columnar reports?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I'm running out of time.

thanks

    The LeftToRight column traversal feature does not work at all in versions
    prior to RB 7.x. (TopToBottom traversal for subreports will print columns if
    the subreport is pbFixed. For pbChild, the childreport will not print
    columns - this limitation exists in RB 7.x as well).

    Using RB 7.03 and DBDemos, I was able to create a customer/orders report in
    which the orders were printed in LeftToRight columns. If you are not using
    RB 7, try downloading a trial version and perform the same test.
