error message for blank reports

When requesting reports, if a user supplies values in the parameters
for which there is no data on the database, how can I stop him/her on
this screen with an error popup display box or a message on the report
like 'no records available for the specified criteria' instead of
generating a blank report with only headers and footers.I am not sure about the other data regions such as list or matrix, but I know
that if you are using a table you can go into the table properties and put
the message that you would like to display under the "No Rows" property.
