Subject: [RBASE-L] - How I resolved my envelope printing issue

Remember about a month ago I asked for suggestions on this.  The company was 
printing around 500 envelopes at a time to an old laserjet (as one 500-page 
print, not 500 1-page prints) and sporadically we were getting blank envelopes, 
garbage characters, incomplete data, etc.   "Hiccuping" as I like to call it.  
Totally blaming it on the old laserjet, which I'm sure had little native memory.

Here's what we ended up doing, and it has worked flawlessly ever since.

I put up a choose box giving them these options.
    Caption: Choose Last Names to Print
    A - F
    G - O
    P - S
    T - Z

I build a where clause based on what they pick, such as
    SET VAR vWhere = (LastName BETWEEN 'A' AND 'Fzzzzz')
    PRINT envelope WHERE &vWhere ORDER BY lastname OPTION PRINTER

Works like a charm!  The user is told not to print another set of envelopes 
until the previous set has completed.
