ACC: Error Previewing Subreports That Call Filter Macro

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Start Microsoft Access and open the sample database Northwind.mdb (or NWIND.MDB in Microsoft Access 2.0 or earlier).
2. Create a new macro that executes an ApplyFilter action. Type a criteria such as the following for the Where Condition:
   
   In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97:
   

   [LastName]="Fuller"

   
   In Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0:
   

   [Last Name]="Fuller"

3. Create a new report not based on any table or query.
4. Drag the Employee Sales By Country report from the Database window to create a subreport on the new report.
5. Double-click the subreport to edit it. Set the OnOpen property of the subreport to the macro that you created in step 2 from the combo box.
6. Preview the report. Note that you receive the following error message.
   
   In Microsoft Access 7.0 and 97:
   
   The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query.
   
   In Microsoft Access 1.x and 2.0:
   
   Action isn't valid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query.
7. Change the RecordSource property of the main report to point to the Employees table.
8. Preview the report. Note that the error message no longer appears; however, neither the subreport nor the main report have been filtered.
