Hi all,

I am printing a form that contains several subforms. In order to have
something visible for people to enter data into, I created a 'blank'
subform that is visible when there is no data in the actual subform.
This blank subform is place over top of the actual.

Only one of the actual subforms does not show through when there is
data in it. I can see it in Print Preview, but it will not print. I
tried replacing the blank subform with one that I know works, and
still the actual will not print when there is data.

What am I doing wrong?!?

Printing a form. They suck at printing for lots of reasons. Reports are for
printing.
