I have a Report which prints address. You can normally fit 6 per print page. What i want to do is print the same address many times accross a page. I could just print it off 6 times but this mean i would only get one address per page and waste lots of time and paper etc.

Is there any way i can duplicate the data say by the use of parameter? Say, askin me how many i want and it goes off and prints the same details accross the page? So if i put in my parameter it will print the same address 6 times accross the page?

Cheers in Advance :)
 
The usual means for this is to duplicate the data in the database, Crystal doesn't handle this sort of request very elegantly.

You might also have the database have blank addresses to allow for starting at a given label position, rather than requiring a new page of labels and waste the difference in the previous.
