>How can I force the report to print when there are no records? The user demands a printout even if there are no records! (She files all reports every month, even if there are no records in a particular report, she needs to file it anyway) :\

You can't. But you can fake it out. Assuming you build a cursor for your report, when there are no records, add a dummy record. If you want, you can fill in one of the fields with "NO DATA" or something to that effect.
