Printing Multiple Labels based upon the amount in a column

[Guest]

I have a query that shows information about individual product items and
includes a column for quantity on hand for each item. Each item has a
different quantity on hand. for example:
name QOH
item1 3
item2 2
item3 4
I would like to print labels, one for each of the items. In the above
scenario, I would need 9 labels and would like the labels for each item to
print consecutively. How do I format a report to read the "quantity on
hand" column and generate the appropriate number of labels for each specific
item?

Or, alternatively, how do I modify the query to show one line for each item.
For example, the query would show three repetitive lines for an item? For
example, if item1 has 3 in stock, the query would show:

item1
item1
item1

Thanks for any help.

You can create a table (tblNums) with a single, numeric field (Num) and add
numbers/records from 1 to your maximum QOH. Then add this table to your
report's record source query. Set the criteria under the Num field to:
<=[QOH]

Thanks, Duane. This is exactly what I needed. Super Simple, I just didn't
know how to do it. You're awesome! Thanks again. Mary
