[AccessD] Referencing Fields in Sub-Reports

Hi Mark

Try replacing the last dots:

=IIf(Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount=0,
0,Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report!txtFlatRate) + 
IIf(Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoicePostage.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount=0,
0,Report!rptInvoiceDetail!rptInvoicePostage.Report!txtPostageAmt)

or just:

=IIf(rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount=0,
0,rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report!txtFlatRate) + 
IIf(rptInvoicePostage.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount=0,
0,rptInvoicePostage.Report!txtPostageAmt)

If still no success, this has to work:

=rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report.RecordsetClone.RecordCount

or, when records are present:

=rptInvoiceFlatRate.Report!txtFlatRate

Gustav -
I use rptInvoiceFlatRate and rptInvoicePostage as both the subreport
names, and the subreport control names.
I changed the control names to InvoiceFlatRateSub and
InvoicePostageSub,
but still receive the "#Name?" display.
There are probably other ways to do this, but I feel like after
spending
a couple days on it, I don't want to start over.

Thanks again,

Hi Mark

But aren't these 

rptInvoiceFlatRate and
rptInvoicePostage

the names of the subreports?
They be replaced with the names of the subreport controls in
rptInvoiceDetail.

/gustav

>>> MarkBoyd at McBeeAssociates.com 05/18 5:50 pm >>>
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)
