re-positioning a control at run time

[markjkubicki]

this is about a SUBreport

Depending on whether or not a bit of info is also included in the subreport, I want a control to be placed at one position or another.
Consequently, I added this code:

Private Sub Report_Load()    varInclJobNo = DLookup("[InclJobNo]", "tbeFixtureSchedulePrintOptions")

    If varInclJobNo Then
        Me.lblftrDate.Top = 0.5382 * 1440 '1 inch = 1440 twips
    Else
        Me.lblftrDate.Top = 0.3785 * 1440
    End If
End Sub

If I just check the code by opening the subreport alone, it "seems" to work;
but when it is opened as a child of the main report... no

... I thought that maybe it wasn't unloading (when the parent report was closed... so the child subreport never actually reloaded (?)).
So I added this:

Private Sub Report_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Child_footer.Name
End Sub

but that didn't work, either
Then i tried another half dozen or so other things...

At this point, i'm fishing in the dark; and any suggestion would be greatly appreciated in advance,

you have to reference the subform from the mainform, you can't use the ME keyword.

Reports![main report name]![subreport control name].Report![controlname]
