Printing Dymo Labels

Hi,

I'm using a form/sub form to print Shipping label(s) and a single report. The user fills in fields on the main/sub form including TotalParcels, the value in the "TotalParcels" is passed through code, and a corresponding number of shipping labels are printed including a single report "Delivery Memo" this is not working the way I expect. Sometimes it gives me the correct number of labels other times it more then I expect. I was hoping someone might see a problem in the code. The report seems to be ok..Thanks for your help.

Code:
 Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim L As Long

    If Me.Dirty Then    'Save any edits.
        Me.Dirty = False
    End If

    If Me.NewRecord Then 'Check there is a record to print
        MsgBox "Select a record to print"
    Else
        strWhere = "[MemoID] = " & Me.[MemoID] 'This code prints a report to default printer
              DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMemo", acViewNormal, , strWhere
        
        For L = 1 To Me!TotalParcels 'This code prints to optional Dymo Labelwriter
               DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMemoDymo", acViewNormal, , strWhere
        Next L
        
    End If
End Sub
 
This might be better if broken down into 2 command buttons instead of a single print button. Maybe a Dymo print button.
 
Here is my two cents:

Penny #1) if the extra labels are blank, there is a formatting problem causing the DYMO label to spill onto 2 pages (labels).

Penny #2) Your [MemoID] is not as unique as yo think it is, or you have multiple records that you are unaware of.
 
Hi Kzutter,

I wasn't getting any blank labels..but I decided to add a dymo print button besides the button I use to print the report..I also realized that in my form/subform, I only needed the parent portion of the data for my SQL statement in the reports control source...sheesh Dymo is running as expected now.
