Mailing labels for dummies
Ok, I'm an idiot. Does anyone out there have some step by step instructions for creating a report that will do mailing labels. I've got multiple columns on my report but I end up with the contents of each column being the same across each grouping/row. In other words for each record read, since I have three columns, I get three occurances of each customer and address until all the data selected for that row is presented, then I go to the next customer which again is repeated across all three columns.
I'm sorry I'm so stupid, but I've looked at other entries on the forum, and I just can't figure it out. We are trying to get out from underneith Business objects thumb and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -
Thanks Bret for the input. Your posting helped me to figure out where to look and change the properties. It through me for a while 'cause the pre-view doesn't show the multiple columns. As a result, after reading your input and making the change, it took a while to figure out that what you told me to do really did fix the problem.
The SQL reporting services is still Marginal (at best!) in creating labels. I'm having a heck of a time getting things evened out so that they will print on my labels correctly. I'm still having a lot of problems getting it set up just right so that information from one label doesn't carry over to another.
None the less, thank you very much for your help! I don't want you to feel like I am shooting the messanger, just venting. Sorry. :B - Eric -
Hello,
I am working on mailing labels and I have the 3 columns, but now I am trying to get them to print across the page,rather than down the page. (Trying to prevent wasting labels by going down the page.) Below is an example of what I need:
1 2 3 4
NOT
1
2
3
4
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
