I might just need to go out and drop some cash on a label creation program but since we are using crystal for report writing from our database i figure i might try to use it to make some labels since our labels pull from our database... Anyways Im using Crystal 8.5 and accessing our database through MS Access I can get the data fine and make the labels fine but my question is, Is it possible to have a paramater for x amount of labels to be printed for 1 address. So if we need to make 4 labels for 1 address ex.
Code:
John Doe                               John Doe
1234 N. Woodland                       1234 N. Woodland
New York, NY 23425                     New York, NY 23425


John Doe                               John Doe
1234 N. Woodland                       1234 N. Woodland
New York, Ny 23425                     New York, NY 23425
Eventually i want to have it where you can select several addresses from the DB and have it print 4 of each like above...If its possible to do something like this i could use some help in setting up the formulas if it is not possible i guess back to the drawing boards... Thank you
 
Place the information into the detail section of your report. Format the detail section using the Section Expert to format with multiple columns. The Layout tab appears .

Use this tab to set up your report in a multi-column format. The dialog box is divided into four smaller boxes that allow you to determine the size of the label and the amount of space between each label.
 
K i got the label set up and spacing that i need but it still wont print 4 of the same label on the same page.. Do i need to edit the page using the Detail view then afterwards?
 
OK I think I just figured it out... Thank You for your help...
 
Can you give me the quick and easy report setup to create multiple labels from one data source - we're using crystal reports with Peachtree and need to do price tags. The store opens up in 1 week and we need to tag everything that has come in for inventory!! HELP!!
