Explanatory Notes
Two methods are
covered as follows:
(a) Everything is managed via VBA code. No interference to
report's record source is needed.
(b) The query serving as report's record source is devised
in such a manner that it takes care of specified start position for first
label to be printed as well as different number of copies for each label as
desired. This method makes use of driver table T_Ref having a single field
RefNum populated with numbers 1 to 200. If the number of copies for any label
are likely to exceed this number, contents of table T_Ref can be expanded
suitably.
Source data consisting of three fields holding top middle and bottom lines for the intended label, is displayed in a subform along with a column displaying the desired number of copies in each case. The last column has bound check boxes enabling the user to select which of the labels are to be printed.
Sample label pertaining to current record in the subform is displayed on the parent form. Any editing of contents in the subform gets reflected promptly in the sample label.
