printing multible lables

[kelbantaemi]

I can get one record to print using a variable counter within a print script, to print the required number of labels. But am having trouble tring to combine it with another one to loop through each record. Can't find the right mix.

Can someone help me out here.

The best solution I've seen presented on these forums (can't seem to find the post right now) is to make a separate label table with only one field. That field will be a key field linking it to the table containing the label you want to print. (via the primary key of that table)

You just make a bunch of dummy records where the foreign key fields are initially empty, then your looping script goes through the records you want to use for the labels and puts the key into the number of label records you want to print. The label layout itself only shows related fields...I'll look more later for an example file if this isn't clear enough.

I found an old post for doing this in FM5 Link
