I have a main report with 2 subreports, 1 for sales orders (with a Calc.
totals fields) and 1 for PO's( With Clac. Totals field). These are then used
to calculate a profit in currency & percentage on the main Report section.
My problem is, that if there are no PO's then the subreport will not show
any records & therefore nothing is displayed for the PO's total value. is
there any way to have it defaulted to (0) for the PO's total field.
Also the tables I am getting the data from are linked and read only, data
reported via queries.
Thank you

Use this formula:
=VAL(NameOfTheField & "")
in the textbox of the subtotal ... if the value of the field is "" then the
VAL() function return 0.

Unfortunetly this has returned with Error! in the text box of subreports
total field (at the moment it has the code =Sum([MySumField]), in the
reports footer.

Try this:
=Val(Sum([MySumField]&"")

Thank you very much, this worked a treat.
What would the code be if I still wanted to have the sales Total visible in
the totals field if the PO's total field was either null or 0. I could use a
query if necassary for the 2 totals to work out the profit bon a third sub
report.

It would help to know how you pull the values from the subreports into the
main report. Can you share some control sources as well as where the text
boxes are located?

Duane,
I am useing the sub reports to total the individual items, i.e there is
a sub report for sales and another for PO's. On the main report are the 2
text boxes for the pofits. The main report calculates this from the
subreports at report run time - if get my meaning.

I kinda expected you to share a control source from your main report like:
=subrptCtrlName.Report!txtMyTotal
Or, maybe the text box control source that references both subreports.
