We have a VB6 application that has successfully printed custom labels on Dymo printers for several years on XP systems with Dymo Version 6 DLS and SDK software. Now, under Version 8 of the Dymo software on Windows 7 systems the application does not work -- what gets printed is the default Dymo mailing address label instead of our custom label. Further, Dymo has not provided VB6 sample code for their current software.

A file with our current code is attached. Can anyone provide direction regarding modification, or provide VB6 sample code? Thanks.

Problem solved. Despite Dymo SDK documentation to the contrary, DLS and SDK Version 8 software cannot open .LWT (Template) files. .LWT files must be converted to .LWL files for use with Version 8 on Windows 7 systems. This can be done with previous Dymo software (e.g. Version 6.1 that was used on XP systems) by using Save As and specifying the .LWL extension.
