April 19, 200124 yr Hi, I am using FMP tp detail a number of products that our company sells. I would like to make a custom label for each product. I have designed the label format etc., but I don't know how to say, print 30 labels for one record. All I can get it to do is print one label per record. The number of labels required will vary for every run. Any ideas? Also, do I need a header for this type of layout? If I delete the header part I seem to lose text on the body part. Wierd. Thanks for any help you can offer.
April 20, 200124 yr I wrote this script a couple of years ago. It could probably be cleaned up, but it should get you started. I saved a second file named "Print Labels". I created an import script to import the desired records from the source file into "Print Labels" then added the following on the end of the script: Go to Record [First] Loop Set Field [Record Count, No of Tags to Print] * (see below) Loop Exit Loop If [Record Count <=1] Duplicate Record Set Field [Record Count, Record Count -1] End Loop Go to Record [Next, Exit after last] End Loop Print Setup Print [No Dialog] Delete All Records Perform Script [Filename:"Source File",comeback] * Record Count is a global field in the Label file No of Tags to Print is a number field in the source file that allows you to set a specific no of labels for each individual record. Hope this helps
