Not really.
In the case of the report, you displayed that message on the main report.
You could do something like that on your main form, e.g.:
=IIf([Sub1].[RecordsetClone].[RecordCount]=0, "No records", Null)
Not ideal though: it flashes as the main form changes records and the
subform clears and loads its records, and it is not in the desired place.
You could also put a label behind the subform control (Format | Send to
Back, in Form Design view), and then toggle the Visible property of the
subform control. That would put the message in the right place, but I
suspect the flashing would be annoying.
