Unexpected behaviour printing labels

Hi All!

I use to have reports for printing labels.
One asked me to put a square around the content of the label.
So I put a rectangle on the report.
But the strange thing is that this reactangle is only printed once. "Print repeated values" has been activated.

Any idea?
TIA

Hi,

Where / which band did you put the square and in which band did you put the label-content?

All content is in detailband.

Hi,
Can you isolate this label.lbx and its cursor to be uploaded, so we can test what is causing this abnormal behavior?

Hi Jockey(2)

This is real weird...
In my app I create a cursor as datasource for the labels (BTW I use FRX no LBX).
To have a tabel for you I changed the select .... into cursor into select ... into table.
Than, outside my app I used this table with the FRX and all works like a charm.

I think this has to deal with hacking the frx (My users can change font and character size). Also , for years, I have kind of work-around to set a top- and leftmargin.

So first I'm going to check for that.

Anyway, thanks for your help.

Hi Bart,
Try making use of the label i/o report when you are dealing with a label. Make also use of SP2 and Reportbavior90 in which case you dont have to hack the .FRX table anymore to allow your users to change the font, or anything else.
