 Last reviewed: March 11, 1998

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Access versions 7.0, 97

SYMPTOMS

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.

When you try to export a report with the "Publish It with MS Word" OfficeLinks command, you may receive the following message: 

   The Save As command can't process any subreports contained in your
   report.

   Do you want to proceed anyway?
If you respond to the message by clicking Yes or No, the report is exported without the subreport.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the report you are exporting contains a subform instead of a subreport.

RESOLUTION

Recreate your main report and only include subreports.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
