I am really hoping that someone can help me out of this problem I am having.
I have created a database for the purpose of printing labels for manufacturing purposes. I have a table say 'production data' where I am entering the details of the product and the quantity to be manufactured on that day.
I also have a report label template, which will print the label for me based on the days production.
My problem is that the label report only prints one of the label in the report. Obviously as it only prints each record once. However I would like to work out a way to print the quantity of labels based on the 'Qty' column in the same table.
For example
Product P21544 x 5 and P24512 x 2 I want 5 copies of P21544 and 2 copies of P24512. All to be printed on the same report page to use the minimal amount of label paper.
By the way we are using A4 label paper not a continious line of label paper.
I really do hope someone can help me I have tried everything !!!!!
THANKYOU IN ADVANCE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP

Something like this might work ... -
Dim qty As Integer
-
Dim rptName As String
-
-
qty = <How would you find the quantity of the report>
-
rptName = <How would you find the name of the report to print>
-
DoCmd.OpenReport rptName, acViewNormal
-
DoCmd.PrintOut , , , acHigh, qty, NO
-
DoCmd.Close acReport, rptName
-

I will give it a try. Thanks for your help
Unfortunately this did not work.
This code printed multiple copies of the same report rather than quantities of the same label on one page based on the table value.

This may have more to do with your reports page layout.

I am hoping someone might be able to put me out of my misery and let me
know if it is possible or not to dervie the name of an element in a
form, based on its associated label, only knowing the value of the
label, and working on the assumption that the <label for="???" links to
the <select id="???"

Hello,
I have a situation with MS Access 2000 in which I need to display report
data in spreadsheet orientation (much like a datasheet view for a form). If
you think of the report in terms of what a spreadsheet might show, the
column names will actually be dynamic, based on data from a SQL Server 2000
database. The row data will also come from the same database. So in this
case, I will have a main report and a subreport. I've already tried...

If this was just straight HTML I would do this:

From a word macro in VBA, I am trying to create a report in

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
