Hi,

You can achieve as many number of tabs as you want by dragging a "Tab Control "object from the Insertable Objects Pane.By default three tabs can be seen.Then you can associate list/crosstab with each of the tabs as per your requirements.You can also add a new tab by clicking on the New tab icon.

But prior to beginning with the active report you need to go to the File Menu at the top and click on "Convert to Active Report".This lets you view the associated controls with the Active Reports.

Please let me know if you need any further information regarding the same.

Thanks and regards
Prerna

Using the deck i want to show the output to be when i select TRx i should get a list with Product & TRx and when i select NRx i should get NRx and product.
