MS Access Report error
Posted on 2013-06-28
HI
I have an Access Report that contains a sub report. The main form has control that references a total box on the sub report. This all works fine until the sub report contains no data and then the control that references it on the main form display #error.
How can I get around this?
Many thanks

Paste this function into a standard module:
Function AvoidError(n As Variant, varReplaceWith As Variant)
10 On Error GoTo AvoidError_Error
20 AvoidError = Nz(n, varReplaceWith)
AvoidError_Exit:
30 Exit Function
AvoidError_Error:
40 AvoidError = varReplaceWith
50 Resume AvoidError_Exit
End Function
and then change the reference in your report to:
=AvoidError(<subreport reference here>, "N/A")
