Thank you for your reply. Yes I have a error handler in my
procedure and it produces the error "Execution of this
application will be stopped due to a runtime error".  Now,
to make this more interesting I can open the report via a
macro and by referencing it my code with a docmd.runmacro
command.  The report in question is based on a query but I
substituted a report without a record source with a simple
label as the only content and still had the error when
attempting to execute the docmd.openreport.
Bizarre.
