Narrative:

While 'in cruise' flight, we experienced a flap fail caution message. In consulting the checklist procedure and maintenance control, it was determined that a zero flap approach and landing was inevitable. We elected to divert from our destination because of runway lengths and returned to cincinnati. We declared an emergency with approach control and landed uneventfully.
