I have a client who has 4 clerks printing both address & barcode labels on
hp 4050 printers.  Each clerk prints about 4500 address labels and 500 pages
of 30 barcode labels.  Jim Asman supplied me with coding for the barcode
labels and I used that technique for printing the address labels.

One can use the label format directly from filePro, but the results will
depend on the type of label wanted and the data to be printed.

By the way, there are 5 different barcode labels available and the clerk has
the option, via a select box, of selecting the proper format.  The address
labels print first then the barcode labels.  This is all done from a browse
window and using system calls for printing.
