Labels on the report are migrating.

edited March 2008 in General
I am in need of some help using the Avery label templates in RB. I
have a couple issues:

I am using a template from the Label Wizard for a A4 standard label. On
the label I have 4 dbtext labels and one dbBarcode label.

The issues are:
1. The labels start out fine, but as the labels continue printing the
labels migrate off the down the label sheet, so they are not in the
correct label space. Basically they are moving.

2. Also the dbBarcode label I am using is set to Auto-size and its
making the bar-code very small.

Any suggestions or help on these issues.

Thanks

    Hi Semone,

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Does this happen
    for every report you create with the A4 standard labels? If you print to a
    different printer, do you still get the same behaivor?

    Which type of barcode are you using? Setting the AutoSize property to True
    will only size the control bounds to the size of the barcode inside. If you
    set AutoSize to False, does the barcode look correct?

    Hi Semone,

    Many barcodes are restricted to bar ratios in order to be read correctly.
    Try adjusting the BarWidth and WideBarRatio properties for your barcode and
    see if you can get the barcode to size correctly.

    Hello Nico, sorry for the delayed response.

    I was able to fix issue #1.

    I am using Delphi 2006 and RB Enterprise 10.04. I am using the
    DBBarcode component with 3of9 Font. When I set it to false, the barcode
    doesn't look correct, the barcode grows and then gets on the other
    labels. The auto-size works fine, it's just so small. I am not sure
    why.
