In all my years of work in VFP - I've almost never needed to use the Label type Form. Here at my day job - we implemented certain labels - but using the Report Form. And then we print to a Thermal Printer. However, there are older clients of our that use Labels we've done using this crappy LabelRight stuff - and, I say Crappy - cause I'm stuck using an old DOS version of this program to do it - since THAT is what is already installed at a bunch of our clients. So - now there is this Trading Partner that we are setting up EDI for a BUNCH of our Clients. And, this particular Trading Partner is SUPER Picky about stuff - both in the EDI data being sent back - as well as the labels. For several of the clients (5 of them are getting this new Trading Partner installed) - 2 of them have the LabelRight setup for labels. The problem is - I can NOT properly control Font sizes in this old Arse LabelRight stuff. So - I thought I would try and implement the label purely via VFP. I would do the Report Form version - except the labels have to go out to a Laser Jet printer - and I didn't think that the Report Form would let me print 4 labels on a page - 2 across & 2 down. So - that's why I turned to the Label Forms instead. However, when I tried to do this. I set up a sample label using the Wizard - and while in the Wizrd I setup a label layout - since the listed Avery ones did NOT show a 4"x6" at 2 columns. In the end - as part of the test - I have 4 records of data in my temp label DBF file. But, when I print - it only prints 2 labels across the top of the page. It doesn't print the 3rd or 4th ones at all - not even a chopped off version. I'm obviously doing something wrong - its just that I don't have much experience with the Labels w/in VFP to know what the Heck I am doing wrong... Anyone have a clue?
