How does one eliminate blank records on a query result?

Hi:

I have a situation where I execute a query (on part of a name) and use
the results on a form to undertake a second level of selection. This
works fine, and if there are no results I can deal with that! My
problem is that there is always a blank record that appears at the end
of the query result which shows up on the form. While this is not a
disaster, it is not the way I would like to have it work.

My question is: how does one eliminate the blank (empty) record result
on a query which has one or more legitimate records?

Thanks
