I'd be interested in getting some info on this as well.

Thank you for the response, David. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe that the slip sheet looks to fill an entire "sheet" of the imposition, and not just one "page"/label. That wouldn't work for this setup because the labels run in a long stream and then need a single break between two streams of 500 labels (through the stack vertical/stack direction, but not horizontal). Does that make sense?

I'm trying to produce a set of sequentially numbered labels. The entire order needs to be broken down into rolls of 500. I'd like to insert a "break" page between each section of 500 labels. I tried to do this with an Overflow page, but I can't figure out how to trigger the overflow page to insert every 500 labels. Does anyone know how to make this work? (using FP 9.2.31 on OS X)

Thanks much for the help, Ste. I kept getting stuck on trying to use a separate sequential numbering rule. This makes much more sense.

Here's a sample of a few records... (sorry, pasting the data didn't work. Here's a screen cap of it) The quantity would be the number of unique numbers for that set. The repeat count is the number of times that each of the unique numbers needs to repeat. (Go Tigers this weekend!)

I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, but I can't seem to wrap my head around it... I need to produce sets of sequential numbers. I have a series of prefixes (i.e. "R21-") that each have a different starting number (i.e. "2145") and a different number of sequential numbers needed for each prefix. The kicker is that I need each sequential number to repeat a different number of times for each prefix. For example, line item (prefix) 1, may need to repeat each number three times and would output like this: R21-02145 R21-02145 R21-02145 R21-02146 R21-02146 R21-02146 R21-02147 R21-02147 R21-02147 ... I'm using the repeatrecordCount call in onRecordStart to specify the quantity of unique numbers for the set. I can't figure out how to get each of those unique numbers to repeat x number of times though. Does that make sense?

So....Mountain Lion should be out in a couple of months. Do I have to pay another $500 to get the software to run on it?
