Printing address Labels

[dawilis]

Im stuck with this one. I would off thought it would be so simple.
My contacts databes needs to print out address labels, I can print 3 labels to a page but the page margins seem to restrict me can we override these? the labels size is 36H * 70 Wide 3 per * 8 per page with a small space at the bottom.
Any suggestions.

How does asp comes into play?

If you're still using access, just go to "reports", "new", and choose the right wizard (adresslabels or so). You can then specify the table and data you need for each adress etc

I want it to be a 1 click job. print from the web page, not having to download the database every time I want to print some labels off. surely that makes sense.

Not to me it doesn't. It will cause unnecessary load on the webserver, webtraffic and db-load. It wil mean you'll be using webtechnology for a desktop job. It will mean you sometimes will have to push huge recordsets through your server just to print them. Probably you'll have to store the data in a premade pdf-form to get the layout completely right/controlable (and pdf is a huge bandwidth consumer)

But go ahead if you like.

Normally, a firm will make weekly/monthly backups of there tables (complete refreshes or only changed/new records), and printing adresses (or mailmerges) or then done starting from a copy of the relevant table(s). Extra advantage, the used tables is a 'fixed state'. Your operational customers table will change after you started printing the adresses.
