I have a report with a subreport included that has a can grow/can shrink property set to yes(although I dont think that is the problem)

this displays normally and properly, but when printing I get a

"expression too complicated error", and the subform contents only don't print (although the border does at the default size).

Changing the cangrow/canshrink didnt help - removing the subform reomved the error.

any ideas - something to do with the field links maybe between main form and subform?


---------
the subreport itself is trivial - no code, just a header and 3 fields, only about 5 records per mainreport detail

Form or report?

silly me - report - its in the report thread

i've changed the original post

bump

sorry, but this is still an issue

why would a subreport be too complex to print (when its trivially simple)

Does the subreport open on its own, have you tried the usual copying and saving with new names etc?

yes the subreport opens OK

as isay, it displays in preview with no probelms, its just throwing errors when printing - i'll try your suggestion - copy and paste/ or even rebuilding the form form scratch - it originally had a lot of controls, which I deleted - perhaps that's causing some problems

rich

brilliant idea

deleted the subreport, copied the report, reinserted the subreport, and now it seems OK

thanks a lot
