Alan,

Good catch. Works perfectly! Just what I needed. :-)

Thanks.

To use subfloats in memoir you need to declare them with \newsubfloat 
{<floatname>}.  (Plus, your code has a few other unrelated errors: a  
stray \end{verbatim} command and a missing brace in the caption line.)

Here's a fixed version that works.  -Alan


\documentclass{memoir}
\newsubfloat{figure}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
Hello
\subcaption{Bar chart.}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
Hello
\subcaption{Bar chart.}
\end{minipage}
\caption{my caption\label{fig:BarAndLinePlot}}
\end{figure}


\end{document}
