Kicker3 Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I setup the table, my problem comes in when trying to print labels (off a 6 label per sheet) when the first 2 labels have already been used.(or any combination have previously been used) I need to make it print on the next available label. I can't figure out how to do this. Any help will be appreciated much.

stanley Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Kicker: Although you run the risk of getting labels caught in the printer when you reuse label stock, the simplest way is to build a script which asks you how many labels have been used on the stock you'll be feeding in, then temporarily create that many blank records (and I mean totally blank) at the front of your print list. If you've got static text (field labels or whatever) on your layout, you can build a series of layouts with different-length (blank) headers on the first page, and, according to how many labels are gone, go to the right layout, which will only start printing where you've got labels. -Stanley

Kicker3 Posted March 11, 2005 Author Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I only use 6 labels per page so I just made 6 layouts each with the merge fields at different locations, hooked up a script with 6 buttons and walla it does what I need. Probably not the best way to do things but it's only for me anyhow. But I do thank you for the answer. You guys are a great help.
