Can anyone help with advice for an ACE report?.... other than to use I4GL! Is there a way to inform the report user that nothing was found in a particular "group"? e.g. when using and "order by" statement that includes a table column named "category", I create "group" headers as in: before group of category begin if category = "one" then print ....... if category = "two" then print ....... etc.... end { before group of category } The report runs just fine, but if a particular category value does not exist in the table the report is "silent". Can I determine this and tell the report user?
