Humm... In my report classes, I did something similar to the following:

select ... &select - sql
if _tally = 0
  ErrorMsg("No data. You may have to change the selection criteria.")
else
  (continue with report)
endif

Of course, this is only the part about informing the user; I had no actual need to save or print an empty report.

If you do, just create an empty record, as Borislav suggested. You might also add a logical field, "HasData" (or, with inverted logic, "EmptyReport"), to conditionally print titles, to the effect that there is no data.
