Shared Variables in Alerts

building reports crystal reports
1

I am developing a report with one subreport. In this subreport I have setup a Shared NumberVar that is transferred into the main report and displayed there. No problems here.
I am trying to setup an alert in the main report, partly based on the Shared NumberVar from the subreport.
Unfortunately I cannot use the Shared NumberVar as it can only be used while printing records.
Is there a workaround to use the shared var in the condition of the alert?

Thanks for your help!

The only workaround I could think of is by removing the need for the subreport by means of getting it`s data into the main report. Maybe build the report off a view which generaltes the data fully.
