Report Error when no records meet query criteria

I have some reports whose purpose is to show whether any records currently meet certain criteria, so of course the report is based on a query where that criteria is defined. If there don't happen to be any records that satisfy the criteria at a particular time then the report produces with one line in the detail section that says "#Error". This confuses the users becuase they think there is something wrong with the report. Is there a way to suppress this, or even make it say something meaningful, like "No records currently meet this criteria."

There is an event for just this case. Reports all have a "No Data" event. You could add code under this event to display a message box to the user or even cancel the opening of the report. Have a look at the help files for a more detailed explanation and an example.
