Do I have to create a table with multiple duplicate records for this to work properly or is there another solution?

The easiest way that I've found to print multiple labels is to create a temporary cursor and fill it with the duplicate records and then run the report/labels

If the user states that they want four copies:
1. Do your query, to get the results.
2. Create a cursor to match the structure of your query.
3. Scan through the results
4. Use your for next loop to insert desired number of copies.
5. Print/View the report.

Real silly example to give idea

maxloop=4
crea cursor filltest(labelfield1 c(10))
sele labelfdield1 from labelinfo into cursor test
scan
scatter memvar
for x =1 to maxloop
sele filltest
append blank
gather memvar
endfor
sele test
endscan
label form testlabels to print noconsole

Used this idea with a form... allowing user to select number of copies, copies to line up on page correctly etc.
