You would really do this in the application that manages the data. How are reports kicked off? Generally Crystal Reports are called from an application.

That report is generated from a software called student management system which is SQL based.. I use crystal reports to create reports requested... That is why I was wondering if such flags can be created inside Crystal Reports...
Thanks for your help!

You might be able to create a calculated field that counts the number of records and produces a message if zero. But I'm really not sure if that will work.

Not knowing what fields you are pulling in your report, you can get a error message to show up by using a formula field and suppressing the data when the formula field is true.

I would imagine that you should have a field that tells if tution has been paid and then you could base your formula off of that field.

Hope this points you in the right direction.
