No it does not work. This dang thing. I also found the same subform within
another subform in the main form. Why does the first code you gave me work
(the one that started this entire deal) but this one wont work? Its pretty
much the same thing. Same subform etc?

I have it on the ON open of my main report. This should work?
If Forms!frmMain!Comment = True Then

Me.[rsubJoseReport-InProcessComments].Visible = True

Else

Me.[rsubJoseReport-InProcessComments].Visible = False

Me.[rsubJoseReport-InProcessComments].Height = 0

End If



End Sub

Yes it does. You are looking in the wrong place. A subreport is actually a
control on the report and the actual report being used in the subreport
control is the Source Object of the subreport control. In design view, open
the properties dialog, and select the subreport control. You will see the
height property there.

The repor tor the subReport does not have a Height properties? I thought it
did but no can do!

"Klatuu" wrote:

Not a problem, we will just change the height of th subreport to 0.

If Forms!MyFormName!MyCheckBoxName = True Then
Me.MySubReportControlName.Visible = True
Else
Me.MySubReportControlName.Visible = False
Me.MySubReportControlName.Height = 0
End If

Your not going to believe this. It works perfectly however the report shows
either a blank page or 1/2 of a blank page where the comments use to be. The
comments subform is in the middle of the main form and the company will not
let me move it to the end. What next? My last step!

Thanks again

This is really the easiest way there is. It shouldn't take but a few minutes
to do it.

side. You would not believe it if I told you. What a mess. I just thought
someone could inform me of an easier way?

I am tired as heck as I have 11 tickts I am trying to clear up. Dont mean to
sound so dumb about this but here is how it goes. The user selects the report
he wants from a cbo. the report then opens and the user will print the report
in front of her directly using the menu. Now all want is some way for the
user to have an option to print or not print the comeent section on the
report. Your past answers will they take care of this? I am very tired 12
hours and pushing it. Thanks for all your help!

You don't need a Y/N field in your table. You just need a checkbox on the
form. That way when a user checks the checkbox, the comments will show.

Step two:
Slap the crap out of your lazy developer.

Thanks however it is a little more complicated than that. The form has a
subform also. There is no Y/N field and the developers wont add one to the
table. There is a print form button on the main form that does a ton of stuff
that I could add in the code but need the Y/N to make it work? Maybe add
another button or?

You can use the Open event of the report to read the value in a control on
the form from which you launch the report and make the sub report control on
the report visible or not. This example uses a check box where checking the
box makes the comments visible.

Me.subComments.Visible = Forms!FormName!chkShowComments

I messed up. I need to make the comment either print or not print. As I
stated it is embedded as a subform in the report based off its own query. Any
help would be appreciated.
