Label Templates

edited December 2003 in End User
Hi,

Is there a way of letting the user selecting a different avery label
template with out having to start from scratch?
For example I supplied the user with a report template file to print out
customer addresses, and I have used 5161 - Address Avery label template. At
the moment if the user wants to use a different Avery labels he can't just
edit the existing one, he has to select new from the file menu and start
again.

Best of regards

NB

    The RB Label Template wizard always creates a new report.

    However, you can code a custom wizard or add a menu option that invokes a
    utility to reconfigure and existing report.

    1. The Label Template Wizard is located in ppLabWiz.pas and ppLWzDlg. It is
    very simple. You can copy this code, change the class names and then
    register it with RB (see the Initialization section of the ppLabWiz unit.

    2. The Label definitions used by the template wizard are located in
    ppLabelDef, ppAvStd, ppAvIntl.

    3. To add a new menu item to the report designer, you can access the
    TppDesigner.Menu property.
