X Of Y Copies Serialization Using Db
I'm using BarTender Automation 10.0 SR3 to process customer-supplied mail lists and generate the required labels. Each record in the mail list includes a quantity of publications to be received. I'm using a simple VB script to divide the quantity by the capacity of each box to get the necessary label copies per record without difficulty. I also need to generate 'Box x of y' for each label, whether it is 1 or more per record. I have tried doing this with 'Serialize Copies' and the supplied 'Label X of Y' but I can't get 'x' to reset to 1 for each record. Instead, it just increments continuously through the entire job. For example, in a data file where the first record specifies 4 boxes/labels and the second record specifies just one, the output on each is as follows:
Box 1 of 4
Box 2 of 4
Box 3 of 4
Box 4 of 4
Box 5 of 1
What is the correct way to handle 'x of y' for label copies when the quantity is from a DB field or script?

Use an event based VB script and reset the X value on the OnNewRecord event. 0
