CreateControl is a design time only operation intended to be
used when you are writing your own wizards.

Maybe you should explain what you are trying to accomplish
so we have a chance to suggest a way to do it.

Marshall,
I wanted to modify a report in design view, close and save it, then get a 
reference of that report through a variable (MyReport). This caused the 
problem. I found that if I used the string Set Myreport = Report_Test, after 
the previous sentence, but in the same procedure, then the message appeared. 
What I did was to declare the Set string in an external Sub (Sub 
InstanceReport). Now It works Ok.
But something else show up maybe you can help me on.:
I use Me.GroupLevel(0).ControlSource = "FilteredField" in the Open Event of 
the report I'm instanciating. and now this is the message:
Err 2191  - You can't set the control Source property in Print Preview or 
after Printing has started. But that's the hint given in help to do it.
What do you think is the problem here, my friend.

That message means that the report is already open and you
can not do that after the open event has been processed.
Remember that opening an aready open report (or form) just
gives it the focus.  This may be tangled up in using
Report_Myreport retrieving/creating a fifferent instance
than the one you wanted.

Whatever it is you are trying to accomplish, I feel pretty
sure you are going about it the wtong way.

I fixed it.
When I instanciated the Base Report, the reference opens it and in that 
moment pops up the err message. It's like in the previous case. So i defined 
a flag (Status = "Instancing") and use it in a if then else clause, 
surrounding the open report event.

Thanks for your considerations.
