On my subform I have a field in the footer that totals the value of a
field. On the main form I have referenced this field. I'm using this
field in a calculation on my main form. The problem occurs when there
are no records in the subform. The field on the main form that
references the subform total field returns #Error. How can I make
this field show the total when there are records and 0 when there are
no records???
Thank you,

A stab in the dark here, but try NZ function.
i.e.
=nz(forms![PARENTFORMNAME]![chldFormObjectName]![FieldReferenced],0)
Don't know if it will work, but give it a shot.

I believe the refference to the field may be incorrect. Try
=nz(forms![PARENTFORMNAME]![chldFormObjectName].Form![FieldReferenced],0)

This did not work either, is there a VB solution?

I understand why Nz doesn't help you out--if there are no records, there
is no subform control present to refer to. No amount of Null checking
will help.
Is it possible to lift the calculation out of the subform? Into the main
form control, that is.

I can not bring the calculation to the main form. There has to be a
way to do this. What about HasData? Is there a way I can use this
in a form?

Create a custom function that first checks for the existance of records in the subform. If records exist return the total else return 0.
Something like -
Function fGetTotal()
With Me.frmNameOfSubform.Form.RecordsetClone
IF .RecordCount<>0 Then
fGetTotal=Me.frmNameOfSubform.Form!NameOfTotalsCon trol
Else
fGetTotal=0
End IF
End With
Exit Function
Set the ControlSource of the control on your main form to =fGetTotal()

No, it applies only during Print or Preview.
Maybe you can formulate the condition where there will be no records in
the subform, and wrap the formula on the main form control in such a test?
What is your goal? Maybe it helps if I can think myself through the
structure.
