force a report with zero entries

[dcraw12]

not a programmer, just a novice user. I have developed a simple program to keep track of exhibitors and classes entered for a county fair. I print out a report with a list of exhibitors entered in each class on separate pages. If there are not entries in a particular class, it doesn't print. How can I force access to print a blank report page for every class even if it has no entries? Thanks.

Depends on your structure.

If you have a table for classes, table for exhibitors, and a junction table containing the foreign key to both classes and exhibitors it would be pretty simple.

You'd just create a query based on your CLASSES table then link it to your junction table, and finally from the junction table to your exhibitors table, make sure the arrow linking the tables is pointing FROM classes TO your junction table and FROM your junction table TO your exhibitors table. Then you should get a row that is blank except for the CLASSID/NAME which you can show in the page header with nothing under it.
