Many thanks for your help, I will try this.

But what I'm not understanding:

A retrieve in designer works properly, doing a retrieve in the dw programmatically gives an empty window - I would have to retrieve the childs separate.

Can anybody repair this, as it is discussed since years?

There's a "trick" to get the getchild to work, based on temporarily changing the "processing" of the nested report to something else. However I'm not fully seeing your exact case (a small example app would be great). I'm also not fully remembering of what and how. (might have to dig through a bunch of old code).

Maybe someone else has a fresher memory of this than me.

Ha! found it!
