no records message on own separate page in subreport

vb .net 2002
crystal reports 9

Hello:

I have a subreport in the report footer of my main report.

When the subreport has no records to show, I have a message in the subreport Group Footer stating same.

It is followed by a blank page when the application is run, and I want to remove the blank page.

If I place the "no records" msg in the subreport report footer, it appears on the last page of the main report, with no blank page following.

If I place the "no records" msg in any of the subreport group sections, I get the extra blank page.

How do I show the message on its own separate page, with no blank pages following, please?

Thanks,

-H
