Demos 51 and 52 of the main reports demo show how to design a report with multiple section subreports. You can easily load existing reports into subreports by saving them to template files and then loading them from within the subreport. This can be done manually in the designer or in code using the Report.Template.LoadFromFile routine.
I have done as you suggested - loaded two reports into two subreports in a new report. However I have a situation that I don't quite understand - The Header panel of the subreports are not visible when shown in this new "hybrid" report. But if the reports are loaded separately the headers are shown as expected. Do you have any idea what this could be?

Thanks Nico, this solved the problem with the header, but now I get a Blank page at the start of the report and a blank at the en of the report... I have placed the subreport in the Detail banner of the Main report. All the other banners are minimized.
What am I missing?

Hi Petter,
Be sure you are using Section style subreports. The Header and Footer bands are not supported for Child subreports.

The section subreports are meant to be inside an empty report (detail band only). Try completely removing all other bands from the main report to remove any extra pages from the output.
Success! Thanks for saving me hours of experimenting.

It is possible to combine multiple reports into a single report using one of
the following methods.
1. Place multiple section subreports into a blank report (detail band only)
and load the reports into the subreports. See the main reports demo.
2. Export each report as an archive and use the free Archive Merger utility
to combine them into one and view using the ArchiveViewer. The archive
merger can be downloaded from our web site.

3. Export each report as a PDF file using the file utilities to merge them
into a single file.

Could you provide some more detail about the "load reports into the
subreports" or where in the main reports demo more info can be found?
Thanks
