continuous labels and report setup

ARC
Hello all,

What's the secret for continuous reports in access, such as continuous feed
labels or receipt printer paper? I'm unsure how access works with the top /
bottom margins, and the page setup (it appears that there isn't a continuous
form paper size). Will access look at the top/bottom margins for each
occurence of a label?

I'm wanting to setup support for dymo roll labels, as well as receipt
printer paper for POS. If the report is set to letter sized, and the label
takes up an inch in height, do you just set the bottom margin to 10" (for an
11" letter size paper)?

And how would you set a receipt type report for a 2.5" continuous roll? And
in this case, will access put in a top / bottom margin once the receipt
reaches the length of a letter sized page (11")?

I'm just not sure how access handles the top/bottom margins in these cases.

Many Thanks,

Andy

Hi all I have a small but rather annoying problem with continuos forms, and am wondering if anyone can suggest a method of getting over it. The front end is Access 2002 with the BE being SQL Server 2000. I have a continuous bound form that is populated from a small recordset when the form opens. The form has lots of other bits, but my problem is with a single text box and an on-click event.

I have a database which will be printing out labels for SMALL test tubes (1/4" high). We have yet to find a reasonably-priced printer (labelwriter) which can effectively print this on ROLLS of labels....due to slippage, soon you have the printout missing the label. So we are thinking that we have to use sheets of labels. HOWEVER, one job may need 15 labels, another may need 8, etc. Does anyone have a solution for how to set this up in...

I know this is probably an easy question, but I could not find/figure it out. Basically, I am printing mailing labels with a "Sorting/Grouping" section that groups the label types together. Also, I am using a "Report Header" to show a count of how many total labels that are being printed. Now, my problem is that without the "Report Header", the spacing is perfect. But, when I add the Report Header, it gets shifted downwards and the...

I created a report to print labels, and it created a custom page size for the report. When I opened the properties of the printer driver I could see it listed - as Custom. Then I had to change printer drivers. (Long story, rather OT.) When I displayed the report, it was formatted for a full page - not real useful for mailing labels. The list of available page sizes did not include Custom.

Hi: I have a user who has labels that are set up 3 across and 11 vertical (which is unusual at best), and he wants me to print names and addresses on them. I have already set up for labels 10 vertical and 3 across (Avery 5160)which are another standard the user has, but can't find any in the setup for labels that show 11 vertical. I am therefore using the Avery 5160 as a start, and modifying the top and bottom margins (the margins on the...

Is there a way that a user can set the position for a single label to print within an Access Label report? I guess I would like something like what is available in Word where the user can select the column and row position for the single label to be printed. I would like to be able to provide a form where the user selects the column and row position for the single label or default to the top left label.For example, the size of the labels...

Hi, I know Access allows for easy construction of a report setup to print labels from a table/query, etc. I've done that one. It works pretty well for what I need. However, is there an example anywhere that someone can point me to that is more flexible? And, I mean flexible in this regard:

Hello all, What's the proper paper size setting if you want to do a receipt printer report, that's a continuous form? I don't really see an option for a continuous paper size. Thanks! Andy

I've seen a lot of posts asking how to get Datasheet-like functionality into a Continuous Form. One of the obvious missing elements is adjustable column widths. I had the same need so I created the following code: On a continuous form, in the Form Header section, between two heading labels, create a box with the height equalling the header height and the width = 0.1576". Name this box BoxColumn1. Create two text boxes named...

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,...

Dear forum friends, With the development of smart home technology, a variety of wireless communication protocols have appeared on the market, such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc. Each protocol has its own unique characteristics and advantages, but as a user who is planning to build a smart home system, I am a bit confused by the choice of these technologies.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
