Barbara:

Again, Thanks for your response. This is the strangest thing I have encountered
in a while. I have been programming in Foxpro for about 6 years and have been
heavily involved in VFP 3.0 for the last three. I am using a standard Avery label number, setting up a very simple label. All the labels I have done in the
past I have done using sheet fed labels (which have always worked well). This problem has been dogging me for several months, and the client is getting frustrated. At first the problem presented itself with each 11th label being
blank. We began working with different combinations (using report command instead of label, hacking the lbx file etc) nothin has worked, but we have managed to get it to print all the labels but it now skips 11 between each set. I may have to resort to the page exactly the size of a label. Once again, thanks for your assistance.
