[AccessD] Skip labels in report

Carolyn,

<<However, if I change the labels to print down, then across, I cannot skip
beyond the first column of labels.   For example, I want to print the next
label in row 3 column 2 of a 30 label sheet (3 columns of 10 labels).
Printing down, then across means I am skipping 12 labels.  When I enter 12
however, it puts the next label in row 1 of column 2, not row 3.>> 

  Not sure why not...I've never done columns with labels that way, but
there's no reason it should not work.

  Hard to say without seeing the code, which I am assuming is doing:

 Me.NextRecord = False
 Me.PrintSection = False
 Me.MoveLayout = True

  until it gets to the correct print position.  You can put a break in the
OnFormat of the detail section where you have the code and check your label
count, plus the current Top and Left properties to see where you are on the
page.

Jim.

Subject: [AccessD] Skip labels in report

I have been using code to skip labels so that the new labels start printing
after the used ones.  This is the code that Microsoft has -- entering a
number of labels to skip and using me.nextrecord and me.printsection to move
to the correct label.   The code works fine if I have the labels set up to
print across, then down.

However, if I change the labels to print down, then across, I cannot skip
beyond the first column of labels.   For example, I want to print the next
label in row 3 column 2 of a 30 label sheet (3 columns of 10 labels).
Printing down, then across means I am skipping 12 labels.  When I enter 12
however, it puts the next label in row 1 of column 2, not row 3.

If the report is set up to print across, then down and I skip 7 labels, it
prints in the correct place.

I can't find any information on why this is happening or how to fix it.
For my purposes, it is much easier to use the labels if they print down
first.

Any help would be appreciated.




Thanks
Carolyn Johnson
