>Hello all,

> My question is how to get into the report when there is no record to be returned. When I preview the report, it flashs very fast then closes without any performance.
> Is there any way that I can display a message which notices that there is no record there, or keep the report open even all fields are blank?
> Any susgession would be appreciated!
