Labels

[hartford]

I'm using the standard QB2003 for property management - rent & service charge collection etc of a large number of apartments.
The "Customer" field is the apartment number and the resident's name & address which might be different to the apartment address is in the Bill to field. That seems to work fine for invoicing and statements etc. Now I want to do some labels and need to identify the apartment number on each label.
Is this at all possible?

Well, you could put as the first line: #16 Nancy Gomez and then Nancy Gomez blah blah blah?

That might make for too many lines on the label, though. Why do you need to identify the apt. on the label?

Another thought - in the Bill to box, after the name you could put a code that identifies the apt. For an HOA that I did their code was the house number plus the first 2 letters of the street name, for example: 7349FR was 7349 Freeman Place. I would make the code as short as possible - you may just have to number consecutively each and every apartment and then keep a master list for yourself of what belongs to what property.

Hi Nancy
There are 250 apartments in this development in about six blocks with different block names (each block set as a customer type)
We are doing a mail shot to them on services (or the too frequent lack of them!). I can print out labels OK but only I think in alpha, post code or customer type order. Hence it will be time consuming to match the labels and the letters.
I suppose the answer could be to use window envelopes - QB must have the ability to output mail shot letters in decent format - I'll check this.
Thanks for your help.
