I really don't know what the subject should be.
Hi Group
Access 2000 WinXPpro

I have one textbox on my report that is supposed to show the quantity of
packages and content of the packages.

Simple example output:
1 box contains 4 bats
1 box contains 4 balls

When those two boxes are packed in an overpack it has to read:
1 box contains 4 bats
1 box contains 4 balls
Overpack Used

This means 1 box contains 1 box with 4 bats and 1 box with 4 balls

If there are 10 identical overpacks it would have to read
1 box contains 4 bats
1 box contains 4 balls
Overpack Used X 10

This means 10 boxes each contain 1 box with 4 bats and 1 box with 4 balls

Having said all of that. That was the easy part. I can produce that much.

Now I have to number the overpacks.
1 box contains 4 bats
1 box contains 4 balls
Overpack Used X 10
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10

The total quantity of overpacks can be any quantity.
If there were only 3 overpacks then there would only be 3 #'s and so on.

I don't have even a clue where to begin with that part.

Then to make it worse I have to state the total quantity per overpack.

1 box contains 4 bats
1 box contains 4 balls
Overpack Used X 10
#1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10
Total net quantity per overpack
4 bats, 4 balls.

If you think this a joke you aren't keeping up on your US government
regulations.

As always any advice, suggestions or thoughts are much appreciated.

Mike
