SUMMARY

ADDLABEL.APP is a FoxPro application you can use to restore all the predefined label layouts that are included with FoxPro. In addition to this functionality that was provided in previous versions of ADDLABEL.APP, the Visual FoxPro version of ADDLABEL.APP provides the ability to define custom label layouts that can later be used by the Label Designer.

MORE INFORMATION

Visual FoxPro for Windows ships with 86 predefined Avery label layouts. You can use the ADDLABEL.APP application to restore these label layouts to a specific resource file. In addition, you can use ADDLABEL.APP to create user-defined label layouts. From the main ADDLABEL.APP screen, choose Create New Label Layout. Then enter the characteristics (margins, label height, label width, and so on) of a custom label layout.

All label layouts will be saved to LABELS.DBF. This includes all predefined layouts as well as user-defined layouts. Once a custom label layout has been created, it will be added to the resource file along with all predefined layouts whenever ADDLABEL.APP is run.

If LABELS.DBF is damaged, Visual FoxPro must be reinstalled in order to recover the predefined label layouts, and all custom layouts must be recreated.
