Ben,
Yes you can hide the report in the Report Manager:
Click the Show Details Button to the right of the screen.
Click the Edit icon of the subreport
In the General Node, check the Hide Property, and click Apply.
Note: this 'hide' only works when the Default View is selected in the Report
Manager.
If the user clicks 'Show Details' the subreport will be displayed.
If your trying to write a Web App that shows the available reports in a
dropdown, try something like this:
ddlReports.Items.Clear()
Dim Report As CatalogItem
For Each Report In ReportList
If Report.Hidden = False Then
If Report.Type = ItemTypeEnum.Report Then
Dim MyItem = New ListItem(Report.Description, Report.Name)
ddlReports.Items.Add(MyItem)
End If
End If
Next
Hope this helps,
rwiethorn

I may have been very confusing. You know when you display your report on
the report server for other people to use. Well the subreports show up just
like a regular report on the server. So if you deploy your report to the
report server to a blank folder and it has a subreport in it, then that
folder will contain two reports. Your regular report and the subreport. I
want to know if this is necessary and if so can you hide the subreprt.
Thanks
