[AccessD] How to evaluate if report was cancelled due to no data

You can trap an error 2501, which is what will be returned to the
calling routine but that will only tell you it has been cancelled, not
why.  You could raise a custom event from the report and sink it in the
calling form.  That would let the report tell you why it was cancelled.

Subject: [AccessD] How to evaluate if report was cancelled due to no
data


XP.  I have a form that opens a report.  In the report, I have:

Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "There are no data to display for the criteria you selected.",
vbOKOnly, "DataMart" Cancel = True End Sub

All's well. 

PROBLEM:  The report cancels, and it goes back to the line right after
the open report line of code.  At that point, I want to evaluate to see
if the report was cancelled so that I can do one thing if it was
cancelled due to no data and do something else if it wasn't.  How can I
do this?
