Add defendant

I have a table in my report that shows cases, that are grouped by Court and
Case. Each case can have one or more defendants. How do I add the defendant
data to the table?
In other words, how do I add a sub-table in my current table and link by
Court and Case?HI,
The best way to me seems that you need a one-to-many relationship here. I
say one-to-many, as it seems unlikely that a defendant would me involved in
multiple cases. If so then you need to have a many-to-many n:n
Create a defendants table, with a foreign key. THe foreign key would then
contain the case key, thereby giveing one case the ability to have one or
more defendants. All thats left is to do the proper relation.

join.
When I said table I mean the report table, the object off the toolbox. I
want the report table to show multiple defendants per case.

I understand that you'd like to show cases and their defendants in one
report. If I'm off-base, please let me know.
Generally you shall use a query with inner join in dataset so that you
could list this informaiton in one report.
For example:
cases table: caseid, casename
casedefendants table: caseid, defendant
select cases.caseid, cases.name, casedefendants.defendant from cases inner
join casedefendants on cases.caseid=casedefendants.caseid
The report shall be sth like:
caseid casename defendant
1 case1 def1
1 case1 def2
2 case2 def3
2 case2 def4
If this does not meet your requirement, please feel free to let's know.
Thank you.
