SYMPTOMS
When you try to export a report with the "Publish It with MS 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 or No, the report is still exported with the subreport.



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



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) Open the sample database Northwind.mdb.
 * 2) Create a new report in Design view based on the Categories table.
 * 3) Save the report.
 * 4) In the toolbox, click the Subform/Subreport button and drag the object to the detail section of the report to invoke the Subform/Subreport Wizard.
 * 5) On the first screen of the wizard, click Reports And Forms.
 * 6) In the Reports And Forms list box, select the Products form, and then click Finish.
 * 7) On the File menu, click Print Preview.
 * 8) On the Tools menu, point to OfficeLinks, and then click Publish It with MS Word.

When the wizard starts outputting the file, you receive the message described in the "Symptoms" section.
