[AccessD] 3 subreports in detail section - show only one?

Hello All,

(Access 2000)

I have a report that has 3 subreports in it detail section. Each record in
the data source of my report only links up to one of the subreports. The
subreport that it links up to varies from record to record. I know which
subreport it is linked up to via a field in my main report data source
called 'machine'.

Is it possible to hide 2 of the 3 subreports and show the 3rd for each
detail section? Meaning that on a given report that has 3 records in the
main report would have a detail section showing: subreport1 for record1 and
hide subreport2 and subreport3, show subreport3 for record2 and hide
subreport1 and subreport2, ...? (there could be any combination here)

I tried putting this code into the detail_format section:

Select Case Me.[Machine]
    Case 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8
        Me.tblBarrel_subreport.Form.Visible = True
        Me.tblSandBlast_subreport.Form.Visible = False
        Me.tblSweco_subreport.Form.Visible = False
    Case 3, 4
        Me.tblBarrel_subreport.Form.Visible = False
        Me.tblSandBlast_subreport.Form.Visible = False
        Me.tblSweco_subreport.Form.Visible = True
    Case 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
        Me.tblBarrel_subreport.Form.Visible = False
        Me.tblSandBlast_subreport.Form.Visible = True
        Me.tblSweco_subreport.Form.Visible = False
    Case Else
        MsgBox "Machine not recognized!"
        DoCmd.Close acReport, Me.Name
End Select


As I traced through the code the report displays a blank preview as soon as
it hits the first *.Visible line and the causes Access to crash.

Thanks!
