Specifying how many labels to print

Ink · Post by **Ink** » Tue Sep 27, 2011 10:17 am

Hi,

I have used the label report wizrd report to create a report based on an avery label.
I have place a rich text box onto the first label on the report into which I load a file using the Get Value event.
When I print the report, I only get one label. How do I specify the amount of labels I want to print? I just want the same data to appear on each label, but the count of label may differ each time the report is run.
So I have one rtf file and I want it to repeat on as many labels as I specify. Count data gives me one label in each column, but say I have 3 columns and I want 9 labels I need to be able to specify that I want 3 rows; 3 Columns x 3 Rows = 9 labels.

Thanks,

Jon.

Please, set the Count Data property of Data Band to 9 and the Columns property to 3.
See attached report template and image.

Thank you.

Please disregard. I have rebuilt the report from scratch without using the wizard, and the columns and data count properties now give me just what I need.

Thanks!
