Printing labes

FJ
Hi all,

I have a problem and I hope one of you can help me with it. I want to
print labels for parcel shipments. I can make the label/report etc. I
have one table with data, each record contains a.o.:
name, address, zipcode etc. and the number of parcels.

Now I want to print as many labels as there are parcels. So if the
value in parcel is 1, then I want it to print 1 label. If the value of
parcel is 3, I want it to print three labels. Etc. etc.
Does anyone have a good idea?

Best regards,
Frans-Jan

Yes.

Create a number range (see the Range article on my site, subheading How
to create a range of numbers?).
Create a query based on your parcel table; add the range table/query but
do not join. Instead, apply a criteria: parcel>theNumber (the latter
being the numerical field name of my range object)

The query will produce as many records for one shipment as you have
indicated in parcel.

brilliant...

Be careful that the number of parcels never exceed the highest number
returned by the number query. As now, I think it is 999; but I hope you
won't have to sticker that many parcels ;-)
