I have a report that may contain no data. I would like to insert a text box into the details section that would display "No Data Found For Query" when no records are returned. Whats the best way of doing this?

The report actually has an EVENT called "on no data". Here you can write a quick piece of code like

msgbox("no data found, closing report")
docmd.close

Thanks for that. Is there a way of getting a message to appear on the report itself, rather than via a msgbox?

You can try add a text box in the report header section (there will be no detail section) with a control source like:
=IIf([HasData],Null,"No Data to Display")

I've added a label lblNoDataMessage, "No data to display", then set the form properties OnNoData, =[lblNoDataMessage].[Visible]=True
