SYMPTOMS

When you try to export a report with the "Publish It with Microsoft Word" OfficeLinks command, you may receive the following message:
The Save As command can't process any subforms contained in your report.

Do you want to proceed anyway?
If you respond to the message by clicking Yes, the report is still exported with the subform part being blank.

If you respond to the message by clicking No, the report is still exported with the subform part omitted.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if the report that you are exporting contains a subform instead of a subreport.
