Hi,
I am new to iReports. I am trying to create a sample report with a
sub-report. The parent and child reports are simple reports without any
datasource. They simply display some static text. When I run the parent
report I can only see the content of the parent report and not the child
report. Can any one help me with this problem? I am sending the two
templates I have used for the sample. Thanks in advance.
Venkat
