That actually sounds a little more elegant, but I'm still not sure how to use the number found in a field to specify the number of times to loop. Do you know of somewhere I could view a similar script to use as a model? Thanks for the help. Lauren

Hi Sheryl - That sounds like it would work. You did a pretty good job of explaining it, I'm just a little foggy about the part where I use X to populate the repeating field, and also about how to use the contents of a field (I have a field for current number in stock already that would be ideal to use) to specify the number of repetitions. If you would be willing to send me the example files, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to respond, Lauren lauren@toyrocket.com

Hi - I am using FM with a barcode creation plug-in to create inventory labels - labels with a product's name, SKU and barcode. Unlike address labels, where I would want one of each record, I have multiples of each label that need printing (and not necessarily the same number for each record.) The labels are printing on full sheets rather than spool-fed individuals, so if I simply specify a number of copies of a single record to print - let's say 15 - I'll be wasting a half of a sheet of labels each time. I would appreciate it if anyone has any ideas for how to deal with this - for instance a script that uses the number in my inventory field to specify how may of each record to print. Thanks in advance.
