How to show table header, footer even when the dataset is empty?

hi,
Just got a question about the report. When my report does not get any
data from database, like dataset is empty, it will show nothing. This
is reasonable. But what our customers want is, they still need to show
the table header, footer, but no data.
ThanksHi Nick,
What is in the table headers and footers...dataset field values only
or possibly the header or footer has text? If you do have text in the
header or footer and they don't appear, check the NoRows property for
the table...any text or string value expression you set will cause the
table to not appear in favor of the expression you set. Text in
headers or footers does display, by default, even if a table has no
records...so you can also check for condittional logic that is hiding
the header or footer.
Maybe you can explain what your table headers and footers have in them?
If it's all dataset field vlaues-what shoud appear?
