I know this is a newbie question, and I've been using Crystal Reports since version 9.<br />
<br />
What happens when I add a subreport to a report? What I mean is that I am going to add a report everyone else uses as a subreport, then within my report I am going to change it a little bit for my specific needs.<br />
<br />
I want to make sure that I'm only copying the report into my report and not going to mess up original report.<br />
<br />
The book I have says it is a copy, but Crystal is very glitchful and want to make sure this is really going to be true every time.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

adding subreport to report, what really happens?

Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application from SAP SE. It is used to graphically design data connections and report layouts from a wide range of data sources including Excel spreadsheets, Oracle, SQL Server databases and Access databases, BusinessObjects Enterprise business views, and local file-system information. Report designers can place fields from these sources on the report design surface, and can also deploy them in custom formulas (using either BASIC or Crystal's own syntax), which are then placed on the design surface. Crystal Reports also supports subreports, graphing, and a limited amount of GIS functionality.
