Chris,
you will probably need a format-trigger. Create the boilerplate text
en attach a format trigger to it. In the format trigger you can
perform the queries and see how many records they return. Depending on
the number of records you can let the trigger return TRUE (show the
text) or FALSE (don't show the text).
