Empty dataset option
Is there some way that CD could be updated so that it would NOT automatically export/print a report if the dataset was empty? I use CD to generate paper dispatch tickets from our scheduling system. It's a great hands-off tool, but because the operators don't want to wait long to get their tickets, we have a fairly short interval for CD (5 min). Unfortunately, there are only 2-3 times in a 3-hr window that the report will be able to actually retrieve data. Crystal Reports v10 can be configured to "suppress report if no records", but CD clearly doesn't honor that setting.
