please see attached..
what will be the right control to place where the marked green box is.

SELECT field1, Field2, Field3,Field4
FROM Book_Table
WHERE Condition1 AND condition2
ORDER BY Field2 DESC;

I think you are overdoing your report with sub-reports. In my opinion, even the ones you have marked red should not be sub-reports, bu just normal Text Boxes.
As for the avg(Field3) you can either use a simple Text Box. In the control source type Avg(Field3)

what will be the right control to place where the marked green box is.Usage of controls is not arbitrary. What do you want to see in the control? It looks to me like you probably want another subreport.
>>What do you want to see in the control?
The new one will be an average.. so a single value.
the existing report (3 next to each other ) is a 3 column list..
if it is a single value, do you recommend subreport for any value/reason?

If it is a single value, then you can create an unbound text box and put the calculation in the ControlSource:
=DAvg("somefield", "sometableorquery", "somecriteriaifnecessary")
=DAvg("somefield", "sometableorquery", "somecriteriaifnecessary")
the report source is a QUERY with
SELECT field1, Field2, Field3,Field4
FROM Book_Table
WHERE Condition1 AND condition2
ORDER BY Field2 DESC;
for
SELECT avg(Field3)
FROM Book_Table
WHERE Condition1 AND condition2
in txt box, you mentioned: DAvg instead of avg. is that for specific reason?
so, will be it format like:
DAvg("Field3", "Book_Table", "Column1=1 AND Column2=2")
SELECT field1, Field2, Field3,Field4
FROM Book_Table
WHERE Condition1 AND condition2
ORDER BY Field2 DESC;
for
SELECT avg(Field3)
FROM Book_Table
WHERE Condition1 AND condition2
in txt box, you mentioned: DAvg instead of avg. is that for specific reason?
so, will be it format like:
DAvg("Field3", "Book_Table", "Column1=1 AND Column2=2")
