Printing Crystal Reports Labels

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
Im having 2 problems with crystal reports. Im making a program in vb that prints shipping labels based on a database. Is there a way to trim the size of the field in the report so that it resizes according to the database entry, thus avoiding large gaps between fields? My other question has to do with the labels, i have my labels set up according to the appropriate label sizes, but it does not print accordingly. There is 1 row of labels less than there should be and the print begins before the defined top margin. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
wayne

If you combine fields in a formula Crystal will typically trim off extra spaces. If for some reason it doesn't, you can use the Trim functions.

On the second question, did you use the preset label formats in the label expert, or did you set the sizing manaully in the details section? [sig]<p>Ken Hamady-
