I have a file of conference bookings, each booking/record having between 1 &
n delegate names.

I need to print a label for each delegate name and am not sure how to do
this, do I need to create a record in a new file for each delegate and print
from there?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards

That might be the way you have to go.  Filemaker's label printing layouts
are one label per record.  With a lot of fiddling, you might be able to
make a custome layout with more than one address on one "label", but if
the number per record is not definite, there's no point.

You could probably set up some import scripts that will import addresses
to a new label file, looping through your found set over & over until all
addresses have been imported into individual records in the target file.

As long as you are doing this anyway, this might be a great opportunity
for you to get your delegate names into their own database permanently &
have them related to the booking file.  Then this (and other problems)
would go away.
