I need to create mailing labels that have the usual: an address, city, state and zip. I also need to have the label print a sequential serial number that starts at some given number and increments by 1. I've got an FM 5 file that contains a list of customers. I need to produce the SAME label for a given customer repetitively 20, 30, 40 times, etc. with only the serial number changing.

I've thought about building a FM file with the number of records= the number of labels, filling in the fields thru a script. How do I handle the serial number. I'd really like this automated as much as possible.

Does anybody have a better idea? Thanks. Steve.

If you build the records in a related Label file, a number field set to automatically enter a serial number may serve the purpose. The script could create the first related record and use a "duplicate" script step in a loop to create the remainder.
