I am using Crystal 8.5 and have generated a report which displays Employees Address1, Address2, City, State and Zip based on the current date and whether or not they have elected benefits for Medical or Dental. The report I have gives me the data I am asking for.

My Question is this- Can I take the results from the report and have the report generated Mailing labels.

If you use the expert in the Report Gallery I am not sure I am keeping all of my formula's
 
You can always design the labels by right-clicking the detail section, selecting the option to format as multiple columns, and using the Layout tab to control the label size and layout.

- Ido

Visual CUT & DataLink Viewer:
view, e-mail, export, burst, distribute, and schedule Crystal Reports.
 
I second Ido's advice -
The advantage of avoiding the Label Wizard (Report Expert) is that you can change the label size in the future. The Report Expert creates a right and bottom margin that can't be changed afterward. You can make it LOOK like it's bigger, but you can't do anything with the area you've gained. I had to completely recreate several labels that had been created for us by a consultant because we wanted to add a couple fields and print on slightly larger labels.
