Referencing SubReport from Report

On the detail format event of the Main report I would
like to know if there is going to be data on the
Subreport that will print out so that I can show some
controls on the parent report. If there is no data that
will print out I will hide these same controls.

I want to be able to reference the subreport without
having to execute an sql statement to determine if values
exist (ie. something like if Me.SR.HasData then....).
On compile, I am not being gigged for that statement but
on report run I get the message "Object doesn't support
this property or method"

Is there a way then to reference the Subreport to check
for data without creating an sql statement, setting the
rs to the sql, and checking for rs.eof?

Thanks,
J9
 
Reports have a HasData property.

The report in the subreport control like this:
=IIf([NameOfYourSubreportControlHere].[Report].[HasData], "Yep", "Nah")

There's a property just for this kind of thing:

If Me.subreport.Report.HasData Then
Me.somecontrol.Visible = False
. . .
 
Hi,

The syntax is

IF [SubRpt].Report.HasData=True THEN
' Do something
END IF
