MS Access Forum / Reports / Printing / October 2004Formula on Main Report Using a Field from Subreport
I have two fields on a subreport named HRSWKD & TTLRPCS. I have one field on my main report named RPCS. All of these are in the detail section. My formula on my main report needs to be: =(RPCS/TTLRPCS)*HRSWKD but I do not know how to format it correctly. If someone could help me it would be most appreciated. >I have two fields on a subreport named HRSWKD & TTLRPCS. I have one field on >my main report named RPCS.

The way to refer to the value of the HRSWKD control in a subreport is: subreportcontrolname.Report.HRSWKD  SignatureMarsh MVP [MS Access] For some reason this is not working for me. Any idea why??? > >I have two fields on a subreport named HRSWKD & TTLRPCS. I have one field on > >my main report named RPCS. All of these are in the detail section.

It could also mean you forgot the = sign. SignatureMarsh MVP [MS Access] >When I put: > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> >> >> subreportcontrolname.Report.HRSWKD OK. When I look at the properties for the subreport the Source Object is: Report.ARLSetterAgentSubreport I put: =ARLSetterAgentSubreport.Report.TTLRPCS as the control source for my text box. TTLRPCS is the name of the text box on the subreport. It is still asking me for parameters.

It's probably prompting for ARLSetterAgentSubreport which you said is the subreport control's SourceObject property. You need to use the subreport control's Name property. They're often the same, but not always. SignatureMarsh MVP [MS Access] >OK.

I don't think I have ever changed the name of a subreport but in this case I did. I knew it was something simple I was overlooking. Thank you for taking time to help me. > It would have helped you had posted the parameter it's > prompting for.
