Can I have a main report which prints to a particular print which then sporns off another report that prints to a different printer.

I would like to be able to Print a Main report to a particular printer and then print a subreport to another printer for labels using the same selection parameters. Is that possible?

This is not possible since subreports are constrained to using not only the same printer but also the same page layout (portrait or landscape) and paper source (tray) as the main report.

Have a look at the 3rd-party Crystal report managers listed at:

At least one of them allows you to interweave output from multiple reports in order to overcome this limitation.

Why do you need to use a subreport.  Keep the selection formula and run 2 reports.  Point one to the default printer and the other to the printer ith labels.

Can you pass the same selection formula to the second report without have to enter the parameters all over again?
