  headers can't be printed if corresponding databand is empty.

  Is that true... "headers can't be printed if corresponding databand is empty.".
  
  What if the report needs to show that there are no results?

  You may create child band, copy all objects from header to child band and show child band when you need with Engine.ShowBand command in script

  Can you provide a simple example report I can open in the designer showing how to get the child band to print when the detail dataset is empty? I've got a simple master->detail report with all objects on the child band and can't get this suggestion to work.

  Easy way: use TfrxDetailData band with RowCount = 1 instead of TfrxHeader band

  I don't understand that at all. Why would I want to get rid of the TfrxHeader band? Isn't the RowCount property hardwired via the underlying table?
  
  I work best from examples. I'm just trying to get a Detail band to show up once when the dataset is empty so the user understands what's going on.
