SUMMARY

This article describes how to print multiple labels for each customer record. The example that follows uses the Customers table in the sample database NWIND.MDB.

MORE INFORMATION

The following example generates 10 labels for each customer record:

  1. In the sample database NWIND.MDB, create a new table called Label Count with one number field. Use the default properties and do not create a primary key. Enter a 1 in the first record, 2 for the second record, and so on.

          Table: Label Count
          ------------------
          FieldName: Count
             DataType: Number
                            
  2. Create a new query based on the Label Count and Customers tables:

          Query: LabelQuery
          ---------------------------------
          Type: Select Query
          Tables: Label Count and Customers
          Join: None
                            
  3. From the View menu, choose Totals so that all fields are set to Group By, as follows:

          Field: Company Name
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: Contact Name
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: Address
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: City
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: Region
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: Postal Code
             Table: Customers
             Total: Group By
          Field: Count
             Table: Label Count
             Total: Group By
             Criteria: <= [Enter Number of Labels to Print for Each
                       Customer]
                            


    NOTE: The Count field in the Label Count table can have an optional parameter value specified in the Criteria field to enter the number of labels to print for each record in the Customers table. If this query is used without a parameter value, 10 identical labels are printed for each record in the Customers table.

  4. Using the Microsoft Access ReportWizard, create a new mailing label report based on the LabelQuery query. If you specify a parameter value, you are prompted to enter the number of labels to print for each customer record.
