Check the number of records.

Better yet would be to use the report's no data event and trap the 2501 error
that gets generated if you cancel the report.

Report's Code
Private Sub Report_NoData(Cancel As Integer)
MsgBox "No Feeder System Set Yet, Try again Later!"
Cancel = True
End Sub

Your calling code
Private Sub List14_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo Err_List14_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String


stDocName = "rptRebandingEquipFreq"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview
End If

Exit_List14_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_List14_Click:
If Err.number 2501 THen
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
Resume Exit_List14_Click

End Sub


Otherwise you could try
IF DCount("*","qryRebandingEquipFreq") = 0 Then
Msgbox "No Feeder System Set Yet, Try again Later!"
Else
stDocName = "rptRebandingEquipFreq"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview
End if

I'm using a list box to open a report for a specific record. I'm using a
report query for the report. The data in the list box updates the query. It
work fine except I would like to add some error handling before the report is
loaded. I would like to check to see if there is any data, if it is "null"
or no data provide a message box and exit before the report is loaded. I
cant seam to get pasted the if statement to check for the null. There must
be an easier way to get this accomplished. Any help would be appreciated.
