Thanks Walter and Will for the so prompt responses. Since i'm not issuing a report but rather a label form, and also that i couldn't get the printer to print in the first raw of labels ( if i checked Printable Page instead of Whole Page, there was no way to print exactly on the labels... ), i had to create a temp table where i added 3 blank records ( for the first row of labels ), and then added 10 times the same record from my main table. Every 36 records, i added another 3 blanks, etc... Although not so 'esthetic', it works fine, and fast.

Cheers,
Jaime

>>I would like to print 10 labels for every record found in my table. Is there a way of doing this similar to using th _PCOPIES variable? I know, i could create a table with 10 times every record found, but i wondered if there was any other *better* way?

SELECT Dummy

and run your report.

Why do programs stop working correctly as soon as you leave the Fox?
