Trouble with subreports
Can someone please remind me how to do this?!
I have a mainform with a subform. On the subform I have a calculated control; text41. On the mainform, I have a control that I'd like to display the value of subform.text41. I've tried the 2 examples below among others but always get '#Name?'. =[Reports]![rptMonthlyForcast]![MonthlyForcastSecondary].[Report]![text41].[Value] =me!MonthlyForcastSecondary.Report!text41 What am I doing wrong? TIA Jake

you're talking about having a main *form* and a sub*form*, but your
reference says [Reports] what objects are you actually working with - form/subform or report/subreport? "GitarJake" wrote in message news:Uv1Vd.5241$2s.2653@lakeread06...

well, i tested a report/subreport that worked with the following syntax
=[Reports]![rptMain]![Child1].[Report]![Text0] the only thing i can suggest is to make sure you're using the name of the subreport *control* in the expression, which may be different from the name of the subreport report object in the database window. example - in my test, the name of my subreport is rptSub, but the name of the subreport *control* in my main report is Child1. to make sure you get the correct name: open the main report in design view. click once on the subreport within the main report, to select it. in the Properties box, click on the Other tab, and look at the Name property. that's the name of the subreport control. hth "GitarJake" wrote in message news:At2Vd.5354$2s.2164@lakeread06...

Thank you Tina,
I think I had the child name wrong. I double checked with your ewxample and it works.
