Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I did try to append an empty report, too, but that didn't seem to work right:

- when previewing, it didn't start the previewer - as if the previwer startup was suppressed by the last report being empty. This can be fixed by setting up the previwer manually

- when sending the output to a printer the last report added an empty page at the end of the print job and I couldn't figure out how the get rid of it
