Printing multiple labels of same record

[danjacoby]

You could run a script that finds the record, duplicates it 9 times, prints, then deletes all but one copy of the record.

HTH,

I believe I can figure this out, but could you tell me how you might do the script you are talking about. One thing is that these tapes generate automatically a serial number when a new record is created...can I still accomplish this without starting a whole bunch of new serial numbers?

Thanks

It might be easier to create another file containing however many duplicates of the same record that you need. When you need to print labels again, just delete all the records and start over.

Hi, here are a couple of articles in the FileMaker support database which may be helpful: Easy 101502, More Complicated 101772

You could probably save yourself a lot of time and hassle if you just create a new layout with the fields laid out to be printed on 10 labels. When you print, just print the current record.

Bridge has the idea -- create a layout with 10 copies of the same (print) field, placed properly.

What burns me is that I've done this, and yet I forgot all about it.

WTG, Bridge!

It's fresh in my mind -- I had to do the same thing myself recently.

I need to know how to print multiple labels of the same record. I have created a tape database that sometimes needs 10 labels of the same record printed out. Any ideas on how to accomplish this.
