How do I hide a subreport to prevent user access?

In Crystal Reports XI, there is a need to prevent users from accessing subreports. The users must not be able to

• drill down in to the subreport
• double-click a subreport to open it in its own window
• double-click the subreport area of the main report to open it in a new report viewer tab.

Here are the steps:

1. Insert a text object over the subreport.
2. Resize the text object to be the same size or a little larger than the subreport object on the main report.
3. Press the space bar and Enter to fill the text object with blank spaces.
   This is necessary because resizing a text object without the blank spaces will not maintain its size when it has been published on the Web.

====================
NOTE:

This method is applicable only to subreports that do not grow in size (for example, subreports that display only a chart or graph).

The text object can be formatted with a hyperlink to another report, another file, or a URL.
