	Erika, Ray, or Mark? I am trying to hide a subreport under certain conditions, but can't seem to do it. I have tried using Visibility() on the subreport element in the parent report, which passes the testing in designer. But, it causes a warning when I try to run the report, saying that the programming has failed to compile. While attempting to approach the visibility issue from within the subform itself using @FormResultSetTotal("Children"), I found that the total is correct when I run the subform report by itself, but it is not correct when run within the parent report. When run within the parent report, the total always shows the total related to the first parent record's number of children. All subsequent records show the same value, even though the number of subrecords that are printing varies indicating the true number of subrecords. This is demonstrated in the report below.

(It seems to work on other types of elements in a report.) 2) Why does @FormResultSetTotal() keep giving the count of only the first parent record's subreport total? I hope I have explained myself clearly. If not, I'm sure you'll let me know. Thanks.

	Quote: 1) Should Visibility() work on a subreport element? (It seems to work on other types of elements in a report.) No. Visibility does not work on a subreport element. Quote: 2) Why does @FormResultSetTotal() keep giving the count of only the first parent record's subreport total? The key word here is Form. As in @FormResultSetTotal(). A subreport and a subform are not the same thing and do not get their records the same way. In what event are you calling @FormResultSet Total?

	Quote: In what event are you calling @FormResultSet Total? Well, actually I'm calling from two places: 1) in the subreport itself, and 2) in the subreport element within the parent report. It's only in both places because I was troubleshooting. I didn't really expect it to work in the parent report, but it did give me the same results as from the subreport. I did however, expect it to work in the subreport. It works for the first subreport, but not the rest. Oh, you did say EVENT, didn't you. In the On Print event in the reports.

	I've solved my initial problem of getting the report to look the way I want. Sorry to bother you with this.

I guess I started down the path of using Visibility(), and when that didn't work, I began trying to figure out why; which got me completely side-tracked.
