Sami,
I can get exactly what I want on a single label by defining the page
size the same as the size of a label.
The downside is that it prints one label per 8-1/2 x 11 page. If it
knew to sequentially print label by label
on the page, that would be great.
I know how to do the multi-column telephone book listing report. The
first set of labels works fine with the
heading line, and all the sub-lines. The difficulty is in getting the
second label information to begin at the
top of the next subsequent label. Some kind of counter and IF statement
could probably track so that
carriage returns would be added if the total rows per label were less
than 6 (or whatever).
R:Base keeps getting better, and there are always new ways of doing
things that seemed impossible before.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Randy
