Accessing a subreport mulitiple time for one print job

edited May 2002 in General
I have a main report, that has 9 subreports all in the detail band. Each
report, but the last subreport only needs to print once. The last subreport
is a report specific to each employee. How do I get this last subreport to
print multiple times with DIFFERENT information on each? I need to have
this done in one print job. So, I need to go to the last subreport for
Employee 1, fill the information, hold it in memory somehow, the access the
same report again, for the next employee(with his own information) and so
on, the print all the reports in one print job. How is this done? Any help
would be appreciated.

Thank You,

    Create a master-detail query where the detail query has all the information
    specific to each employee that needs to be printed in the subreport. The
    main report would traverse all the employess, then for every employee the
    detail query would run retrieving the information specific to that employee.
    See demos 61-80 in Rbuilder/Demos for examples of master-detail reports.
