  use dialog form enter and open the query dataset after exiting the memo control and see if there is a record count
  if none set the mrok button to false and show a message.

  You might also take a look at the main demo underdialog and scripts
  at the choose records to print demo for another idea.

  Thanks, gordk. That works perfectly for my report in the OnChange event by keeping the OK button disabled.
  Now I'm trying to verify if the number exists in a date range. A start date and end date are entered in DateEdit controls. Querying the database each time the user scrolls through each calendar might be too much, so I am trying the OnExit event for those controls. The problem with that approach... exiting one control to change the other can cause a message to pop up.
  
  Is there a way to query the database after the user clicks the mrok button, and then stop the report from running if there are no results from the query? I am guessing there is not.
  
  Your answer is still helpful, and I'll still come up with a workable solution regardless.
