Print record <field> times on the same page

[Leb i Sol]

Hello Gurus!

Is this even possible?

scenario:

simple found set returned is:

ID_________QTY

ABC1.......3

ABC2.......2

______________

I would like to print the ID 'as many times as their quantity value' but on the same page.

so the result would be:

==================

ABC1 ABC1 ABC1

ABC2 ABC

=============[page1]

I have looked arround and found no answer to this....the only workarround i thgout of was makign a new "print.fp5" file and scripting "duplication" of my records in found set into....is this 'a way to go'?

Many thanx for the feedback!

Hi Alen,

I suggest using another file/table called Labels where each layout is a different label configuration (5160, etc.). Script record creation based upon three globals 1) Number to print of each, 2) How many beginning labels to skip and 3) Label name (layoutname).

User enters the numbers (via Custom Dialog) after finding their set. A looping script in your Label table will create the required records (using a counter). When finished, Label records can be deleted.

Now in 7, I plan to re-think this process; script parameters alone will make it easier.

Hi LaRetta!

Thanx for the responding and reassurance....

I guess it is time to give in into a new file...so much for being a minimalist

Thanx again!
