Formatting issue

I actually have 2 problems, but both should be relatively easy.

<-- Start Resolved>
First: I am making a label for a production environment that uses 2 tables in an access database for data. The label is 3"x5". When i select the data for the label, I get the correct information, but it will always print a second, blank, page!!! How do I suppress the second (blank) page? I cannot figure out where it is coming from. For all I know, the whole report is configured wrong (I'm a newb at CR).
<End Resolved --> The label was a little too large. With the custom size, 3" x 5", I had the 5" at maybe 5.0000001" causing a page break to occur. Doh! :thumb:

Second: I need the label to always print 2 copies with the same ticket number, the first has a text field stating "Storage Copy", the second gets a text field stating "Inventory Copy". How do I do this? If I send a range of data to the label (report), I will need it to print both labels for each ticket number.

I hope someone can help. I appreciate any help available.Hi Rick,
Try the following
(1) make sure suppress Blank section option is checked
(2) copy the label and paste that below that label

Madhivanan|||These issues were resolved by (1) reducing the size of the label and (2) creating a group relationship between the body and a report footer copy.

Thanks for the input.

Format chart output

I need to display a bargraph with the top 15 errors for a production line. I
have everything working the way I like it except for the times when ther are
not 15 errors then the bargraph automatically resizes. Then it looks
terrible. Especially when there is one one item returned - then you get 1
HUGE bar that goes acress the graph.
My question is - is there a way that I can always have 15 place holders for
the bargraph? so that no matter how many values I get returned the bargraphs
will always be the same size? (except for the number of bars that are
showing).
I tried setting the min and max in the x-axis and y-axis to 0 and 15 - but
if there are less than 15 it still resizes the bars.
Thanks in advance.Hi Mike,
is that your issue solved? i also facing this same issue, when there is one
data, it becomes a HUGE columns. Or let say the chart size is best to view
for 15 placeholders but the data is >15 placeholders, all the columns will
squeeze together.
i set the category axis min/max value, also no help on this issue.
any one can help? thanks.
