I want to print a blank record

Hello,
I have a report using sub-reports in the main report. If there is data
in the sub-report, I get all the field names as well as any records with the
data. What I would like to happen is to first print a blank report (with
the field names), then print any additional records that may already exist.
The blank report is to be used for the person getting the report to be able
to add on paper a new record that can be entered into the DB when they
return from the field.
The only thing I thought of was to create labels and boxes that emulated
the blank one, or manually add a blank record to the tables. I dislike BOTH
of those ideas... I was hoping I could use the ON NO DATA or other events to
do this for me, but I'd need an example of how to set it up.

Can anyone help me out?

Thank you so much,
Steven Craig Basham
 
Just print the report with a filter to a non existant record. If you used
autonumber for your key field just filter the the record number 0 --
autonumber will not creat a record with the number of zero.
