    One way would be to set up the barcodes to print within labels - do a quick
    search in this forum for 'skip label' and you'll find a number of references
    on how to print starting from a particular label.

    In my version of RB (7.04) there is a way to configure the page as an Avery
    label (with a list of the most common labels). It would help to know what
    version of Delphi and RB you are using, and where the data is coming from
    (DB, JIT or ??).

    One thing to note - RB (at least in 7.04) prints labels by column first
    (that is, left side top to bottom, then right side top to bottom).

    Cheers,

    In RB 7.04 all I have to do is drop a ppReport component on a form, open the
    report designer, and select . A dialog box pops up - you'll see
    a wizard for "Label Templates" where you can select an Avery type that best
    matches the size of the barcode you are trying to produce.

    If you need to skip labels, here's the link to what appears to be the
    standard sample:

    Here's an example if you use RAP (RB Enterprise or Server)

    And here's a note about it from Nico:
    "This example was created with the latest version of ReportBuilder... 10.0.
    You should just be able to ignore the unrecognized components and continue
    on with the example. Otherwise, you can always take a look at the rap code
    written and copy it to a new application in RB 9.x."
