The setting of this registry key determines the processing time of a subreport.

If this value is set to "Yes," the Report Designer, SDK Report Viewer and Info Viewer will not process the subreport until it is double-clicked.

If this value is set to "No," the subreport cannot be double-clicked and will be processed at the same time as the main report.

For Page base exporting like PDF this is not an issue because the subreport does not require to be evaluated.

For row set exporting like CSV the subreport does require to be evaluated because it was conditionally supressed.
