Microsoft Works Database...how can she print off address labels from this
database?
Thanks,

If Works does not have an automated way to create labels, export the
table(s) with the labels' data to Excel. Link to the Excel worksheet(s) from
Access. This creates Access-like tables from the Excel worksheets. Create
what ever queries you need for the data on the labels. Use the Labels Wizard
under the reports tab to create a labels report based on the query.

Hi all, I'm trying to generate labels to print in several different formats, all of them with their own height,width and page margins. We've got this done in MS Access 2000, using a designed report that fits with each label type, and reads a table dinamically generated. But the problem is page margins. Does Access store page margins and information of that kind within de report? Is there any kind of association between printer...

Hi. Sorry, but I don't know where else to ask. I wrote a access shipping database and we currently use the web interface for DHL to print shipping labels. That means we have to manualy transpose shipto info to the DHL web interface to print the 8 x 11 labels. We ship between 0 and 20 packages a day. If I get DHL pinfeed DHL shipping labels and a matrix printer, can I just print the labels directly from my database instead of dealing...

I am trying to print some 2x6 labels on a SATO CL408e thermal label printer. The 2x6 labels are arranged in "landscape" mode with 2 labels per "sheet." When I attempt to print "x" copies of a 1 page label document, I get "x" formfeeds and "x" wasted labels. Is there any way to manipulate the .NET printing engine to do a over-under 2-up landscape printing? I'm thinking no, but maybe there's a way. The printer has the ability to sense the...

I'd like to make an application to print labels. I have to print an image and text, the label size is 10cm x 5 cm. I'm wandering how to do it in c#. My first thought is to make an acrobat "form" with the image and text, but I have to send a date in the label so I need to open the pdf and send the date into a field (variable), then I have to print n times the same label. Can anyone help me ? Thank's.

Hi everyone, I have kind of an odd question. What I'm trying to do is have a program run when I want to print something. A little background on my situation is, I'm sharing a little thermal label printer. I want to be able to print labels from other computers. But when I do this, the labels just fly out of the printer and get tangled in a mess. Ideally what I want to happen is when I press print, the document is sent to the computer...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
