Save As Command Can't save any subforms
When testing a change (adding a reject e-mail) to an existing database I'm
getting this screen: "The Save As command can't process any subforms contained in your report" Do you want to proceed anyway? I have never seen this message before what is wrong? The form does have a subform, but the report does not. Thanks, |

Thanks, You used subforms inside a report instead of subreports. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |

No I use subreports inside reports not subforms hence the question as to why

Did you by any chance use the "Save as Report" option on a form that contained subforms? When doing that only the parent form is re-created as a report. The subforms STAY as subforms. That is the only time I have seen the message you are describing. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |

Yes both the form and report have subs the subform has a subform for that
form and the report has a subreport for that report. So does that mean that it isn't saving the subform and it isn't a large problem? I have never seen this before and I use forms/subform and report/subreports all the time.

The point that I might not be making as clearly as I would like is that what you think is a subreport might actually be a subform. Access will allow you to put a form inside a report and it will act very much like a subreport. That is until you try to use OutputTo or SendObject on it at which point you will get the error you are seeing. Bottom line, make absolutely sure that all of your subreports are in fact using reports as their SourceObject and not forms. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...

Thank you I will verify that. One more question can the subform be used when
you have created the report from the report design wizard?

Where it is easy to get this condition is to take a form with one or more subforms and use the right-click option to "Save as a Report" on the main form. It creates a report based on the design of the main form, but the subforms are still subforms. They each need to be converted to reports separately. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com |
