For the inner table, yes it is.
FWIW: I did get this working by changing the query on the outer/parent table by adding a CASE statement to see if there would (1) or would not (0) be any rows that would be in the results of the inner/child/subreport table; then made a visibility rule to hide the row when that CASE results in a 0.
I'm sure that's not how it *should* be done, but it seems to be working. I'm comparing it to the OOTB woprint.rptdesign, trying to figure out how they did it for the many subreports there.
Back to Wes's previous response -- no, I hadn't done either of those, but woprint.rptdesign doesn't do those either.
It's been awhile since I had to make a BIRT report; I can see I'm a bit rusty. But at this point I think I'm just interested in figuring out why woprint.rptdesign's subreports hide properly and, when I mimic what they did there, it isn't working in my report. What am I missing?
