Report with no records

Post by Jeff_Barefoot_(Guest) » Wed Feb 06, 2008 12:19 pm

We have integrated R&R into a number of our applications as the primary reporting engine. We are now automating reports to be saved as .rtf files so that they can be archived by users. ____When I run a report that has no records, R&R would give a messagebox indicating this if I am using the R&R interface. But when I try to automate this the resulting report is essentially an empty report with some setup codes in it:____pardplainsl-184 x4890 x8385 f27 fs16 cf0 ab Report Total:par pardplainsl-14224 fs14 par{footer pardplainsl-240 fs14 par pardplainsl-192 qc x5445 f27  fs16 cf0 ab Page 1par}}____I understand that if I see this then it means "no records were found" but it^s confusing to end users.____QUESTION: Is there a way that I can cause a report with no records found to print something to that affect. In other words, the report would say "No records found" instead of the R&R Interface giving the message.____Any thoughts?____Thanks!!____Jeff Barefoot

Try creating a conditional line with text such as " No Records Found" which prints only if the record count is zero.

V12 allows you to create a title band line that will print only when no records are found.____Kathleen__R&R Support
