Does anyone know how I can grab a value from one sub report textbox and another value from another sub report textbox to compute a value on the main Report? Basically, I want to use two different fields from two different sub reports to come up with a value for a textbox on the Main report? I've tried everything. Thanks in advance.

To reference a control on a subreport you need only include the complete path to the control. Keep in mind, you will not be able to reference a FIELD from the subreport as this would involve the return of a recordset(large number of values) which cannot be held by a control. So make sure you are referencing an unbound control(i.e. a calculated control that gives the sum or average of a field in the subreport's recordset). Use the following syntax:

=Reports!MainReportName!SubreportName!ControlName
