[AccessD] Referencing Fields in Sub-Reports

Main Report: rptInvoiceDetail
Sub1: rptInvoiceFlatRate
Sub2: rptInvoicePostage

When setting the control source of the main report's textbox to the
following, I'm prompted for a parameter value for the main report's
name.
"=IIf(Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report.RecordsetClone.R
ecordCount=0,0,Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report.txtFlat
Rate)+IIf(Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoicePostage.Report.RecordsetClon
e.RecordCount=0,0,Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoicePostage.Report.txtPo
stageAmt)".

If I remove the main reports name from the expression, the value
"#Name?" is displayed.

Hi Mark

That sounds as if you have a misspelling.
What is the expression?

Thanks Gustav.  
Logically, this looks like it should work.  Now, instead of "#Error",
the field is displaying "#Name?".

Hi Mark

Your problem is that the control doesn't even "exist" when there are no
records.
Thus, you may need something like this (one line):

  IIf(Report!rptMain!<sub1>.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0, 0,
Report!rptMain!<sub1>.Report!txtTextbox) +
  IIf(Report!rptMain!<sub2>.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount = 0, 0,
Report!rptMain!<sub2>.Report!txtTextbox)
