Hey,

I may be doing this doen the road too, so I thought about different ways of doing it.

I think it can be done using PDF files with predefined layout. THen you can insert text into the PDF from the database or an HTML form.

You can use either ActivePDF component (haven't tried it yet) or Adobe FDF Toolkit (free from Adobe)(

Some examples of use of FDF toolkit -

Hope this gives you some ideas <Dmitriy>

Hello dbrom,
cheers for the info.
however, what I have done is created the labels using word !

once I can input an option value into VBScript, I will have a way for the users to choose the different types of labels from a SELECT box.
I'll post the code when it is complete.

thanks again.

welshone, can you post the code that creates and outputs to the word document? Is it totally automated or do you have to open word and print the document manually? I want to create a page on my company's intranet that will print out onto UPS and Fedex shipping labels, based on the user input form.
