You have to tell OOo to advance to the next record. Put the cursor toward the end of the master label (upper left hand corner, the one that gets replicated when you hit the "Synchronize Labels" button), after the last field. Insert-> Fields-> Other-> Database. Select the appropriate database and table. Then select "Next record", then "Insert". -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
