Crystal Report - where is this tab coming from?

I understand that this is not easy to debug and help with but I'm posting some screenshots...hopefully someone can give me an idea where to look and how to do this...

(My first day of working with Crystal Reports and I'm not a CR developer )

1. The report looks like this. You see the tab "Main Report"? I want to add another tab but I don't know how this tab is built. I did a search in the code for "Main Report" and I don't find it. Did a search in stored procs and I don't see "Main Report". Did a search in our Web Services code and I don't see the word "Main Report"

2. The report itself looks like this and I see the file

3. This is the Windows Forms that's the container. Maybe I need to check all the User Controls but still....where is that tab coming from?

It's ok if no one can help.  I know it's hard to debug it without the code. I can ask my manager if it's ok to give the code and someone here could tell us how this all comes together.

Probably the other developer has done something like subreport. Wondering where the text Main Reporr is coming from.

Ah, Thanks, Chris. I didn't know that. This helps a lot.

Mike, thanks. I see one report that's like form within form and the tabs are there. But it's so convoluted. Add to that there are third party tools.

I might have to come up with a workaround to get this done and not follow the same thing I see in the code.

Thanks for responding. Helps a lot.
Helpful. Thanks
