printing multiple part labels

[JohnE]

Hello. Have a situation in which there is a mainform, a tabcontrol on the
mainform, and a subform on a tabcontrol (the many). What is displayed in the
subform are the parts (part numbers, etc) associated with the mainform
device. There comes a time when a part number label is printed out for each
of the subform parts. If there are many rows, the user needs to print one
label at a time. What I am trying to do is have the user do a multi-select
on the record selectors of the subform and then print all that was selected.
The single part works fine. The user clicks the Print Label button, a popup
asks how many labels for that part are needed, and off it prints. Would need
to just add if multiple records are selected.

The multi select print is where I am stuck and seek help from the group.

Thanks.
John

Would you consider adding a field to the subform's table to record how many
of each label are needed? Set its Default Value to 1, and the user can
change it if they need more than 1.

Now the can specify for each row how many labels they want, and you can use
this approach to print that number of labels:
