In that case, the subform control may have a different name than the name of
the form that gets loaded into it.
Open the main report in design view.
Right-click the edge of the subform control, and choose Properties.
What is the Name of the control (on the Other tab)?
You need to use that name, not whatever is in the SourceObject property
(which is the name of the form to load into it.)
