printing unbound text boxes

I have a main form with 2 subforms. All 3 have unbound text boxes. The Microsoft Knowledge Base indicates that printing unbound text boxes on subforms is a known bug which apparently has not been fixed. Has anyone found a way around this? My form is rather complicated and I'd prefer not to start over again, but in the end I'll have to find a way to print this, so any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Laurie, I am a bit lost here because I do not understand the problem.

Could you tell us what info it is that you want in the subform's unbound text boxes? Where, in other words, does this info come from?

Is it on a report that you are wanting to print the info?

Please re-state your problem because people a lot smarter than me will be able to help you.

It's a time card application. The data in one subform is entered by the user. They enter the number of hours worked into unbound text boxes. The days they've already entered are displayed, also in unbound text boxes. The data in the other subform is the number of hours avail. in various time banks, vacation, sick, etc. This uses a recordset to pull the fields for that employee, based on the social security number from the main form, and put them into unbound textboxes. The main form is based on the employee table which has a one-one relationship with the banks table and a one-many relationship with the hours worked table (each day being a record). I have recordsets in code to pull only the records for the 2 week period. Those records are DSUM'd by category and totaled into unbound textboxes in the main form.
I think I can send the data to a report and print that.
Has anyone found any other solutions?
Thanks.
