Mailing labels in report

Is there anyway to display mailing labels on the web instead of on a paper. If its possible please let me know. I will appreciate it. Thanks

alright I created a report and saved it as RDF file, now when I do a web.show_document what excatly do I do for it to work. And how do you do you keep the service on when you install report server. I installed the report server and then when I start the service it shutdowns byitself. Any idea why.

Setting Margins for Mailing Labels in Reports 6i

I would like to know how to configure the margins (vertical/horizontal properties) for different mailing label formats. I am unable to correctly set them to use for Avery labels. MS Access has a great label wizard that brings up a variety of mailing label formats and allows you to choose from the list. I have found nothing similar in Oracle Reports. Have been a DBA/developer of Oracle Applications for 20+ years. Help!

Where you set the measurement ?
Did you follow this ?
@ Report Object Navigator
1. Select Layout Model >> Main Section then properties
set Width, Height and Orientation under Section
Adjust your layout and
Try...
Hope this works..

Exporting a mailing label report to PDF shifts the address off ...

Hi.
The report is created using the wizard "File->New->Mailing Label Report". Everything looks good at the preview. Following are the dimensions:
- 4 X 1 inches
- 2 labels across, 10 down
- Paper would be 8-1/2 X 11 inches (Letter sized) (labeled) paper
- 0.5 inches page margin on top and bottom
- 0.156 inches left & right margins
- Horizontally .188 inches between labels
- Vertically NO space between labels
For this, in the Crystal Reports Designer, I used Mailing Label Type = "Address (Avery 5261)".
Issue
However, when trying to export the report to PDF and when we print the report, addresses go off the labels (shifts up slightly starting from the begining). It looks like the font sizes, etc are not maintained. Therefore, visually, addresses shifts up gradually and does not fall into labels.
Other specific details
The first address was too low, I mean after .5 inches top margin, this first address started to appear .4 inches down the margin. If we measure from top of one address to the top of next one, it is about .9 inch and not 1 inch.
Later I tried this [template|http://www.worldlabel.com/Pages/crystal-reports.htm] as well. I faced the same issue.
Had anyone worked with mailing labels report faced similar issue?
I appreciate your help

Having a print problem on a mailing label report using the merge modules.

Crystal Reports 2008 v 12.1.6.1116
when I print directly from Crystal Reports designer, the labels print correctly. If I print the report from our application software using the Crystal merge module, the top of page margin is not the same.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 Fix Pack 1.5 Merge Modules.
Any idea what might be causing this ? I do not see any settings in the CrystalReportViewer that would cause the top of page margin to change.
Note: We were using a previous version of Crystal Reports, version 11 using the merge modules and it worked just fine. After changing to the 2008 merge modules we are running into this problem.

Which Version of VS.NET you are using?
       VS 2008 v 9.0.30729.1 SP
. Which application you are developing desktop or web?
       Desktop
. Error messages you are facing?
        No error message, just the top of page margin is wrong
. Are you facing this error in development machine?
       The mailing label report works just fine printing directly from the Crystal Reports 2008 Design application. However is I try to print the exact same report using the CrystalReportViewer in the merge module, the top of page margin is different. Basically printing from the designer, there is some spacing at the top of the page, printing in the vb.net app the spacing at the time of is missing.
. Are you trying to deploy this application?
       Yes
. Operating System?
        The OS I have tried this on is XP Pro SP3 and also Vista Business SP1
. How are you deploying your application?
        We build a installshield setup to install the merge modules

Barcode and mailing label report

Hi everybody,
I am wondering if oracle report support barcode 128. If it does, how ?
Another question is how to control the number of copies mailing label printed. For example, I have a report generated a page of mailing labels, but I want some of these labels printed more copies.
thanks,
Diana
null

Hi Diana,
You have to follow these set up to get the barcode in Report.
1. Install the barcode font thru the control panel FONT.
2. Create a query that contains the number for barcode that you want to include in your report.
3. In paper Design View click the barcode field, and choose Appropriate Format and Font to apply the barcode font to the field.
Regarding to print N number of copies, you can mention the System parameter COPIES.
If you want 10 copies every time you can mention it as 10. Otherewise you can display the parameter in parameter form and you can give the required number of copies.
I think this will help you Diana.
Regards,
Siva.

Has anyone tried exporting the mailing labels report to PDF or Editable RTF

Mailing Labels Format - Universal 80104 Equivalent to Avery #5961, 4X1. We used "Mailing Labels" option while creating the report in the designed (11.5). In the designer, when we go File->New->Mailing Label...we used this.
From the Crystal Designer:
Printing directly or exporting it to Editable RTF Word and print works great.
When tried to export to PDF and print, things get messed up. Initial few on the page fall into the labels, rest just does not align to labels. Fonts seems small, and the label display seems shifted up, etc.
From our Web App, opening in the crystal report viewer and exporting to any format to print does not work at all. I mean addresses does not fall into the labels.
Does anyone experience same kind of issue?
Please help me.
Thanks

Repeating same address in a Mailing Label Report

I have created a mailing label report that generates address labels from a database. I would like to pass a parameter to this report that would allow me to indicate how many occurances of each address is to be printed. For example my address file contains 10 unique addresses, I want to create 4 labels for each address. This would give me a total of 40 labels. (keeping the 4 like addresses together). not by printing the report 4 times.
Thanks for the help.

Hi Dale Nelson,
I found some information about Label Looping in Crystal. I never tried it but I think it would help you.
How to Create a Looping Label Report, Using CR9's Basic Syntax
1) Create a New Report using the Label Expert, utilizing the desired label size
2)
a) insert several fields into the label details section that will create many many details lines for the report: there will have to be   one details line for each label potentially created: these fields will not be shown in the label
b) the above fields can come from any table..in this sample report, the Customer ID field and the Order ID field are taken from Crystal's Xtreme sample database
3) The details section must have a numeric counter assigned to each record. If there is no database field that is a numeric counter, one will have to be created in the database (in this example, the numeric counter is the Customer ID)
4) create a parameter field in which the user is prompted to enter the # of labels they wish for each client/customer
insert this parameter onto the report header
5)
a) create a linking formula to insert on the details section of the main report. The formula will read something like:
        Shared x as number
        x = (x + 1/{?lblnum})
        formula = truncate(x)
b) if the client enters 6 as the number of labels they wish for each client, the above formula will be incremented by 1, for each 6 times the formula is calculated on the details sections...this ensures that the subreport is ran 6 times for each client and thus six labels are produced
6) Insert a Subreport that will contain the fields and structure of an address label
7) create a link to the subreport: from the Linking Formula (above) to the client ID (customer ID number field) in the subreport
8) blank main report details lines will now have to be suppressed. In the subreport create a formula @Null Check similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
if isnull({Customer.Customer Name}) then check := 6
Insert this formula on the subreport details section and suppress it
9) in the main report, go to format the details section and select the Suppression formula button. Insert a formula similar to:
whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar check;
check =6
the above two steps will ensure that main report details sections will be suppressed after the labels are printed
Notes:
> There will be one blank label printed at the end of the report.
> The order of the labels will be in the order specified by the database: if a different order is desired, this should be specified using a query or stored procedure at the database end
> A successful link is created between a manual running total [@link formula] and the subreport's Customer ID field. This link is possible as the [@link formula] formula is written in Basic Syntax, and hence is processed before the subreport link. This is not possible using earlier versions of Crystal, as the formula editor did not have the option to use Basic Syntax.

Raghavendra

Mailing Label and Blank Page

Hi,
I created a mailing labels report using Report 10g. When I run the report with format RTF and open it in Word, the first page if great, but then it inserts a blank page, followed by the third page being correct.
Is there any way to delete the blank page?
Thanks in advance.
VC

this might be caused by MS word. check the page settings and the margin settings word assumes when you open the document.
thanks,

Can I transfer appleworks databases to some other app in order to print mailing labels?

Can I transfer appleworks databases to Bento or elsewhere on my new MacBook Pro in order to print mailing labels, or do I have to re-enter all the information?

Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages 4 (AppleWorks 6 only) but this is no longer available - the newPages 5 (Mavericks required) does not open AppleWorks documents. Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames). The latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings).
Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in the older versions of Numbers - the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
Presentations can be opened directly only in the older versions Keynote again the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
To use other programs, or open Painting or Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first. Nothing will open AW database documents.
If you have upgraded to Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and have AppleWorks documents you cannot open, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk and start from that (provided that the Mac did not come with anything higher than Snow Leopard originally installed); and success has been reported in running Snow Leopard under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: it seems complex; however Snow Leopard Server may still be available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price and this makes the process a lot easier. I haven't tried either method: use at your own discretion. You can then run AppleWorks as an emergency measure.

Print Mailing Labels from Address Book

After following the convoluted rules for Address Book, I finally got my Leopard computer to print Mailing Labels with proper relationships displayed. I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now this is all broken again.
I read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3952 which describes the changes made to Snow Leopard, however for anyone who already put in a lot of work to get labels working correctly for Leopard (or Tiger), this is a major set back.
Not only that, the Snow Leopard method for printing labels breaks so many other uses of Address Book. I will name a few:
iPhone:
I sync my address book with my iPhone. My buddy calls, now instead of "Bob Smith" displayed on my iPhone, I will see "Bob & Jean Smith" even though the call is from Bob's cell phone....all because I followed the new 10.6 rules to get proper labels printed by 'hacking' the first name field and changing "Bob" to "Bob & Jean".
Mail:
When I receive and email from Bob, instead of it saying "Bob Smith <[email protected]>" it will display: "Bob & Jean Smith <[email protected]>"
I'm sure there are other examples of how this change will break other apps.
Solution:
Apple should add a Print option to Address Book with a backwards compatibility checkbox that will include relationships with matching addresses to support 10.4 - 10.5.8 address book printing usage.
If you agree that Apple should add this Print option to add back support for relationship printing, add your voice to this thread, as well as post a bug report to Apple with similar contents.

A vote here for a checkbox in preferences to "include related names," allowing for 10.5 style behavior.

Data Merge - Mailing label issue IDCS4

I created a simple template to create mailing labels using an Avery form. There are only 3 lines,
<<Name>>
<<Address1>>
<<Address2>>
I followed the instructions by connecting to the csv file and dragging the field names to the text box. I go to the "Create Merged Document" and adjusted the Multiple Record Layout so everything looks perfect. I click on the Preview Multiple Record Layout and everything is fine. No errors reported on the bottom left corner. I click the OK button to make the merged document and what is created is a mess. I get multiple pages (I only asked for one page, 30 records per page) with only one record printed per page. The alignment is all off and it looks nothing like the preview.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Jeffery,
I did most of that but not all. I will try what you said and see. For the short term, I did it in word and got it out. I use InDesign for all of my company doc's and I'd like to use it for this, if I can make it work. What is most confusing is that the Preview looked perfect. When I created the document it was completely hosed. Makes one wonder just what is Preview really doing.
Richard, thanks. Yea, I made a custom label as the caned ones did not have my form. Their wizard actually makes it pretty easy once you figure out how they are really placing it on a page. Word displays it goofy too though. If I have the "Indivisible" showing everything looks right. When you click it off, the last row of records show repeating in the footer area. It prints correct but it's preview is confusing too.
Is this really that hard to do? One would think so given both programs are WYSI_NOT_WYG.

Changing Mailing Label definition

I've read that you can't change the mail label selected at run time. Other than generating a different report, can you change which label to support at design time?
Thanks.

Sorry, I should have indicated that I am developing in VS 2005 with C# if that helps.

How to e-mail/not e-mail a scheduled report based on records returned

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way that there can be logic performed on a report that has been scheduled and ran before it gets sent via e-mail to the end users? We have scheduled reports that often end up with 0 records returned but users still get the e-mail with the report that contains 0 records. I would like to e-mail the reports only if the records returned is greater than 0.
We are on v3.1 so if there is a solution for 3.1 that would be great. If this capability exists in 4.0, that information would be very helpful as well.
Thank you for your time.
David Hellinger

Apply an event on your report.
First go to Cmc, create an event based for example on a file that should be created in certain route if the query won't return 0 rows.
Then apply this event in your report Schedule option Event.

HP LaserJet P1006 - Won't print mailing labels

I just got a new computer at work and it won't print my mailing labels. If I create a word document and print, it will print on the label paper, but if the document is a label template, I keep getting a pop-up telling me to insert the correct paper and hit "go". On my old computer I would get this warning, but when I hit "go" it would proceed to print. Now, the printer blinks red (like the job is pending), and then the pop-up comes up again telling me to insert the correct paper again. I have attempted to change the settings in Properties to automatically expect label paper, but I keep getting the same warnings. Please help! I need to resolve this issue because my coworkers will eventually have this same problem as they have all gotten new computers too.
Thanks!

Hi there!
Thanks for your reply with all of your troubleshooting efforts!
I have looked into the mailing label printing some more and I would suggest posting the issue on the Avery Help Center to see if they can provide a better answer. We've determined the printer will still print, so I do believe the problem is within printing the mailing labels.
Here is a link for you: Avery Help Center

Where do I find the Style pop-up menu so I can choose mailing labels?

I've set out below the Help item for printing mailing labels from Address Book but I don't get any Style option with my printer which is a reasonably up to date HP 1200 Laser. Have I got the settings wrong somewhere
To print mailing labels:
Select All or a group in the Group column, or select specific contacts in the Name column.
If contacts in the group you selected have multiple addresses, you can choose which address to use for each contact.
Selecting addresses for group members
Choose File > Print.
Choose Mailing Labels from the Style pop-up menu, and then set other options:
Layout: Choose a type of label from the Page pop-up menus. Select Define Custom to set the page margins and the gutter space between labels, and to specify how many labels to print on a page.
Label: Choose which addresses to use from the Addresses pop-up menu. Choose the order in which to print the labels using the “Print in” pop-up menu. Add a small graphic to the labels by clicking the Image Set button; change the font by clicking the Font Set button.
Click Print.

Assuming you are in Address Book, you choose the records you want to print and then the File/Print menu selection.
If the printer menu comes up with only the name of the printer and "Presets" dropdown choices, you click on the arrow to the right of the printer name to expand the print menu. Make sure the box below the pages to print is showing "Address Book" and you will see the "Style" below it.
