Creating A Separator Label
I would like to create a separator label that prints every X labels. For example, when printing 1,000 labels a separator label prints after every 100 labels. This will allow me to easily break the 1,000 labels into 10 groups of 100.
I know I can create a second template and activate it with the VB Scripting function, but I do not know the VB code. I'm hoping this is fairly basic for someone that knows VB and I can simply cut and paste the code.
I am using version 10.0.

Are your labels sequential or otherwise variable? Or are they all the same label? This changes the "easiest" way to do this in 10.0 I think,

Each label in a print job contains the same information. There are variable fields in the label template, so job to job the information changes.

How is the value X derived for when you want the separator label to print?
Note that a VB script expression where you make a Modulus calculation of X on the number of labels printed, to check if equals to zero, will help you evaluate if the interval has been reached.
In BarTender v10.1 you could create a non-printing data source that changes value at the interval you want. If there is one label per page then you could use the "Print Job Field>Page Number" for this. Then in the "Page Setup" dialog under the "Templates" tab you would create an a template that prints when the non-printing data source has changed to indicate a separator label.

I have Bartender v10.0, so I'm not sure if what you stated applies to me. The value X will vary from job to job. I deally there is a field to enter the value. Otherwise I can go into the code and change the value.
Someone else has offered e possible solution based on your modulus calculation suggestion. I will check to see if it works.
Thanks for your help.
