Does your dataset support bookmarks properly- ie. is it a proper TDataset
descendent?
Can you send an example to support@digital-metaphors.com using DBDemos data
that exhibits this data traversal problem?

Use the BottomOffset property instead of trying to change the height of the
detail band if you want extra space. Set it on either the region or the
detail band itself. The data shouldn't be traversed twice. What other event
handlers … -
Call Report.Template.SaveToStream and LoadFromStream passing any TStream
descendent.

Try creating a group in the subreport and set it to start on a new page.
That way you don't have to use the title band of the subreport.

See the main reports demo #73 for an example of side by side subreports.
Checkout the ShiftRelativeTo property to have other stretchable controls
below the subreports shift as they increase in height.

There is no known issue with RB 7 and ADvantage. We have many users using RB
with Advantage.
Make sure that the Subreport.Datapipeline is assigned.

subreport is drilled down as shown in this tip:
