Rocky,

Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, I seem to be having "senior moments" and I cannot even get a small test example to work.

Perhaps you could post more details.

For example, I am not sure how to obtain the record count of the sub-report.

Thanks,
Brad

I would use the format event of the detail section to get the record count
of the sub report and, if it's zero then 

Me.MoveLayout = False
Me.NextRecord = True
Me.PrintSection = False

Subject: [AccessD] Need to Suppress Main Report Line if the
relatedSub-Report has no Data

All,

I have a report that has one sub-report.  This sub-report is tied to a field
in the detail lines of the main report.

Recently, our users requested that if there is no data in the sub-report
they would like to see the related line on the main report suppressed. 

I have never tried to do this before.  I have set up a little test Access
application and tried a few ideas, but have not found a good solution.

Is there a way to accomplish this with Access 2007?

Thanks,
Brad
