Report Error
I usually hide all reports and run them from forms, especially because the
subsets of data the user wants depend on selections made in the forms. Then
I pass the selections to the report and trap the errors. e.g. no data.

==========I was thinking that I might be able to trap the error and in the
errorhandler, set the default value. 

Picky?
Users don't read manuals, only their lawyers will do so when you really make
a mess.
So guiding users through the appropriate process with menus, tooltips,
messages, etc. isn't picky, just good service.

==========Thanks for understanding. Most of the mail I get is really nice.
They just want to know more, so they can take the technique a little
further. But, in my own self-serving way, I'd rather ward off as many of the
"you're an idiot" emails as possible. I don't get very many, which I don't
really think is a reflection of my intelligence, but rather the manners of
most of the readers. ;)
