Hi All,
Is there an easy way to print labels (Avery format) from an employee table?
ASP, VB
Thanks in advance.

Simple answer: NO. Each browser adds to much padding / headers / etc.
I suggest the following:
How to automate Word to perform a client-side Mail Merge using XML from SQL Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285176
Where the client can merge via word. that way you don't have to worry about printers / label sizes and operator error.
Cheers
Edd

well, I've not tried lables yet but we have done letters and envelopes. regarding the browser issue it depends on who your user is. if it is the general public then Edd is right. if not you could specify a required browser and settings; that's what we do for the envelope/letter stuff.

I have a table with three columns on the report details section. Any idea how I display different records on each column. Something like: employee1 on column1 employee2 on column2 and employee3 on column 3?
I'm trying to print labels but I've only been able to print records across the page with the generator.
Thanks.
