date error

I have a report which pulls info. onbasis of date range, using hasdata
property I am able to get a null value if there is not data processed within
the date range, however in the header it gives a me a text "error" for the
date range

need have the date range mentioned, at the moment under the control source I
use
="Dated from " & [Type beginning date] & " to " & [Type ending date]

any help will be appreciated

thanks

You can't get the entered dates from parameter prompts if there are no
records returned. Either use the HasData to remove the error or replace all
parameter prompts with references to controls on forms. This would work:

="Between " & [Forms]![frmRptCriteria]![txtStart] & " and " &
[Forms]![frmRptCriteria]![txtEnd]

beginning date] & " to " & [Type ending date]

Your Sum() is correctly configured but you would have to use the same
IIf(HasData...) for your parameter prompts. Don't use parameter prompts.
