I have a contact RunTime application and I would like to add a drop down for
the user to choose the type of labels they have(ie Avery) and then have the
report generate the correct margin and spacing settings to print the labels.
Can someone lead me in the right direction here...is it possible????

Thanks.

It may be possible, but it would be *very* complex. What we've done instead
is to design individual reports for about a dozen of the most popular label
sizes. The user chooses the label size they want from a combo box, and our
code opens the version of the report designed for that label size.

An alternative, if your users have Microsoft Word, is to export the data and
let the users use the mail merge features in Word to print labels from the
data in any size supported by Word.
