try this code -IF (&RECORDS GT 0) THEN GOTO RETRECS ; -INCLUDE RXNOENT1 -RETRECS -continue whatever code the -INCLUDE is a goto that prints a "Sorry, Charlie" type message in an html format that nicely says that no records were found. sll@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Hey, I am on a VAX machine. We have not established standards for when NO RECORDS are found. What is an effective manner of displaying this status in a FOCUS report???? I do have access to a manual. Cannot quit figure this one.
