How to implement "don't print if no data fetched"?

[Jcatcat]

I have a CR report which will be print daily (schedule daily).

For example:
I want to print new contract every day.

So I create a filter: contract_create_date = TODAY.

But not every day there will be new contract coming in. So when no data fetched, a empty report will be printed. This makes no sense and wastes papers.

How can I say: don't print if no data fetched ?

You might want to ask that question in a forum more suited to classic Crystal Reports.

The trick is to make the report fail so a scheduled print job will not even try to print. In a suppressed page footer (or somewhere hidden) produce a field that divides by the number of records retrieved. If there is a ZERO record count, you will be trying to divide by 0 which should result in an error. Run this function 'WhilePrintingRecords;' and this should cause your report to fail and therefore not print.

Cool! Thanks OWize1.
