zenith,
Add a data item to your query (doesn't have to be displayed in the report) called "RowNum".  Define it as running-count(RowNum()).

Then create a boolean variable called "varNoRows" defined as [RowNum] < 1.

Add a conditional block to the header based on varNoRows and set current box to "Yes".  Then create a text item "No Data" and place it inside the conditional block.

I haven't tried this but it should work.  HTH

Keep us posted.

hi i think i am applying the condition wrong
can u tell me when to exactly apply the conditonal ... in a sequence
Cheerss

The sequence doesn't matter.  As long as you create your variables first, there should be no problem.  What is happening when you run the report?

zenith, did this work for you?
I am trying something similar.
I want to show a text message on the report when the report returns no data.


Thanks.
