Just checked, same with Access 2003 here.
Possible workaround:
Make the footer.height *very small*, make the sub.height even smaller...
0,011 cm for the sub and 0,019 cm for the footer works here, which is in
fact invisible (to me ...)
But I have NO Clue whatever about what you are trying to accomplish here...

Thank you for checking. I wonder if this is a bug or whether it is supposed
to be like this. It seems strange that you can have the subform control set
to a tiny size and make it invisible, but if you set the footer to
invisible, you get this error.
By the way, I am not doing anything too strange. I am doing some stuff
which needs a number of user settings to be available for read/write access
and I use the subform's recordsource to do this. Normally, there is no need
to see the value of the settings so the idea was to place the subform on an
invisible footer. If I can't do it like this, then I will simply alter the
size of the form and, as it cannot be re-sized by the user anyway, they will
never see the bit at the bottom of the form.
If anyone has an explanation for this behaviour, please feel free...
