Microsoft Word with MailMerge is still the best option.

Shoot... I was hoping that you weren't going to say that. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=56984&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' />
So are the steps to

1. create a report?
   
2. allow export to xls
   
3. import using Word
   It seems that page breaks and other formatting things mess up the export output from most PHPR reports...
   NEW INPUT:
   
   I just tried it and it appears easier to just export directly to WORD.
   Now - last quesiton- what's the best way to do this while excluding the formatting and page breaks?

You don't need to do anything with PHPRunner in order to use Word's Mailmerge. Mailmerge is able to connect directly to most databases: MS Access, Excel or any ODBC-enabled database.
Good Mail Merge tutorial can be found here:

This process doesn't involve PHPRunner at all.

Okay, I'll give that a try.
First impressions are:
-- The referenced website is pretty weak, (I'll try to find a better one),

-- Word 7 doesn't use the term MySQL, so their instructions are challenging,

-- I'm concerned about my Database users having to know the server connection information
I'll continue to experiment with this solution and will report back here.
Thanks Sergey.

Bill,
I didn't realize that were for your users.
The best approach your users can use is to export data to Excel using built-in PHPRunner export and then follow instructions you need to write use this Excel file as a source for Word Mail Merge.

Thanks... I realized that I wasn't clear after I began my search. Whether the end-user prints the labels, or a trusted database editor does it, makes a big difference.
WORD: I got this to work, but as you noted, then I need to modify the users PC - add MySQL ODBC, add ID/PW for the database, configure the lable template, etc.... <<probably not something that I want to do to a couple of their PC's.
FPDF: This shows some promise... <<more later.

I have FPDF working now inside PHP Runner...Hooray. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=57024&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
But I need to figure out how to use the variables from the SELECT functions on the standard pages. Rather than re-create a sorting or selection function, it would be great to just use the existing (standard) one. Once I get this figured out, I'll post ALL OF THE CODE!!!!
So, my question is: If I select records numbered 500 to 550 (VendorID), what variable can I use in the query?
EXAMPLE:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tblvendors WHERE VendorID > $nnn and < $NNN";
Where the $nnn and $NNN would come from the SEARCH BETWEEN function.
