I am not sure but I think sub report 3 has to have a link to the main table(table0) as well.

Main Report Table0.EntityID Sub Report_1 Table1.EntityID, Table1.PersEntityID Sub Report_2 (Nested inside Sub Report_1) Table2.PersEntityID Sub Report_3 (Nested inside Sub Report_2) Table3.PersEntityID The values in question are missing from Sub Report_3. ??

I have often created a one-table view of the subreport table to either (a) create only one common column in case there's >1 common and that prevents a match, or (b) purposely rename the common column in the view so that all rows will match. I have a report that has a bunch of data, and they wanted a chart of the "lookup values" at the bottom to show a list of Code values. Since there was one common column for the lookup, it would have shown only the one matching row. So I created a view, with the common column as an alias, and it shows the full lookup chart nicely at the bottom! Subreports are very cool, and one of the ways to convert those old DOS routines where they would print multiple reports to a file.

(At least that is the way I use sub-reports. They are a very useful feature.)
