Empty Recordsets And Artificial Records

I'm currently running the following statement that is used in a Crystal
Report. Basically, a record is returned when the T_PAYMENT.amount
has a record in the database based on the value of the T_MULTILIST.code
field. Currently, if there is no record returned, there is no listing
in the report for the given T_MULTILIST.code.


The user now wants a record to be displayed on the report when there is
no record in the database - she wants it to display a value of '$0'
for the given T_MULTILIST.code record. I tried to explain the fact that
is not possible the way things stand at the moment. Basically I need
some type
of case statement that says 'if there is no record returned, create a
single record and set T_PAYMENT.amount = 0' AFTER each query has been
executed.
Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?
