extracting information for labels

[Jan]

Not at the moment - it specifically excludes them - why do you want it to do that? (I'll add it to the wish list anyway - it would probably be an checkbox type option, would you want it to carry out all processing or just printing?)

With regard to your mailing label, you could get 1 Stop Automation to print those out as well by installing them in place of the packing list or data entry report.

So if I understand correctly, I would have to - create a report in crystal with the info I want in the format I want, identify the data entry report and replace it with mine (with the same name?), then just tell batch processor to print the DE report?

That is exactly right John.

The data entry report is called dataentry.rpt. You could either write a new report and call it dataentry.rpt (it lives in the main Actinic directory not the site directory) or you could use the data entry report at a starting point, delete everything from it except for the delivery address and make it the right size for your label paper.

On a couple of occasions I have a problem with Protx not matching payments to orders, so they have remainded as PSP pending.

Also if they are printed then I can call the custoemr to see if they were having problem with the site, or just changed their mind.

Having just seen the price of crystal (HOW MUCH?!?!?!) I was going to go for your 2nd option...but having opened the report in notepad it isn't in text format... maybe you meant open it in crystal and edit it...?

Is there a cheap version of crystal? a demo version? a shareware package that uses the same format...? failing that, how much do you charge for knocking up a short report?

Depending on which (model) label printer you have then I may be interested too.

Though I would need to use one of my existing label templates as this includes the return address etc.

[jxm28788]

dymo labelwriter 330 turbo.

ditto for the return address.

[smiffy]

I've got the older 320 model.. with the Dymo Labelwriter Large Address Labels 36x89mm

What size labels do you use?

[jxm28788]

54mmx101mm 99014 standard shipping/name labels

Smiffy - you could use email marketing tool to get the names and addresses over to your label printer - I believe that they can print from csv files.

John - you can only edit the data entry report with crystal reports (you should pay between £100 and £150 for crystal and you have to buy v8.5)
