Table of Contents stopped working (MDB -> ADP)

I have a report laid out in Design View as shown at the end of this message.

I have code that performs the following steps:

1. In main report's Report_Open(), DELETE any old rows in tblTOC for
this username.
2. In main report's CategoryHeader_ Format(), add a row to tblTOC with
the current category name and the current page number.
3. In the table of contents subreport, Cancel if NoData event fires.

When this report was in an MDB file, if Text12 had the datasource =
"[Page] of [Pages]" the report would run through the code for all the
data and properly fill in tblTOC with page numbers each time the
CategoryHeader_ Format() event fired. So that when the page with
FormVersionHead er on it was viewed, the table of contents would be
properly displayed.

I upsized this database to a SQL server backend / ADP front end and now
the page with FormVersionHead er on it is blank. My assumption is that
the report cancels the first time through because tblTOC is blank.
However, in the MDB file, once the report was open in preview mode, the
table of contents would get filled in the second time you navigated to
the page with FormVersionHead er on it. This second rendering doesn't
seem to be happening in the ADP file. Does anyone have any suggestions
on why this might occur?

Code snippets:

rptMain:

Private Sub Report_Open(Can cel as Integer)
' Setup the table of contents
If UCase(Me.ShowTO C.Caption) <> "Y" Then
With Me
.Text12.Control Source = "=""Page "" & [Page]"

End If

' Update the table of contents, if necessary
If UCase(Me.ShowTO C.Caption) = "Y" Then
AddToTOC sTOC_TABLE, sUsername, CStr(Me.txtCate goryHeader),

End If

End Sub

End If

Set rs = Nothing
End Sub

recordsource have the same value)

I've been fiddling around with the table of contents some more.
It still does not show up in the print preview, but when the data is
finally printed, the table shows up.

The only thing I can figure is that an ADP file will cache table data to
cut down on network traffic. Some the main report opens up, then the
table of contents sub-report is opened and its data is pulled. However,
since we just opened the main report, the recordsource for the subreport
is empty. Then after the report has finished loading in print preview,
the data is not fetched again when I navigate to page 2 (which is the
page with the table of contents on it). In the MDB file, the data for a
page is fetched everytime you navigate to it (or at least more
frequently) than it is in an ADP file.
