Creating Labels with VFP6.0

[RichardH]

When I try to create a new label layout in VFP6 for example with the command CREATE LABEL MYLABELS, it get the message "No label layouts found".

When I try this with VFP5 on the same computer it gives me a list of Avery labels to choose from, which is what I want. Microsoft in Q108168 says to use the Addlabel.app but that doesn't work. I think that it may have something to do with my Foxuser.dbf/fpt, Labels.dbf/fpt, and Labels.reg.

Please help...Thanks

An "undocumented install feature" (as far as I know), of VFP6. I ran across this same scenario. The easiest way to get it going, is to go ahead and run the Label Wizard once:

Tools -> Wizards -> Label

This will register the label types when it runs. From there you can create labels from the command window.
I'm sure there is a way to programmatically register the layouts but I haven't bothered checking into it yet.
