Subreport Events within a report

[gillianleec]

I have a subreport that has an On Activate event that changes the fontsize depending on the number of records. It works great when I run the subreport but does not work when I run the report.

Private Sub Report_Activate()
Select Case Me.Countrec
Case Is > 4
Me.txtdocname.FontSize = 5
Case Is <= 4
Me.txtdocname.FontSize = 8
End Select

End Sub

Why would you ever choose the Activate event? Try the On Open or On Format of some section.

I used the On activate event because it was looking for a count that occurred after the report was open. I tried the On open even and it said that there was no data.

On format worked. Thanks!!
