Solved Dymo Label printing issue

[andymartin3186]

Hi,
I've created a report to print a single dymo label to my 550.
The labels I'm using are 2112283 25mm high x 54mm wide and when using the dymo software they come out of the printer narrow edge first with the text 90 degrees on so the label is landscape when viewed. I've attached a photo of one from the dymo software. The windows printer settings (not modified) are portrait so the dymo software must do something so it prints correctly.

The issue I'm having is I can't set the report to print correctly. I've used the label wizard and chosen a size which is a close enough match. Ive specified the printer in page setup, which then immediately sets the report to portrait. I've tried all manner of things even changing the controls to vertical but in preview it generates a lot of blank pages before bits of the label start to appear. It also constantly generates a "report width greater than page width" error even when I've resized it to be less than 1cm x 1cm, and the error remains until all objects are deleted from the page.

Is it just not compatible with this type of label?

Rather than use the wizard try just specifying a custom paper size.
Labels are always a pain to use in Access, until you get them right!

This worked. Thanks
I just created a blank report rather than using the wizard.
I still had to rotate everything 90 on, but that makes sense as to how it prints.

Thank you!
