>>>Hi,
>>>I am creating label files (for various size lables) and thinking about including in the file name the label size. For example, label_1.1x4.lbx and label_1.1x4.lbt. Then in the program I will use this name with parentheses as for example:
>>>
>>>cLabelName = 'label_1.1x4'
>>>label form (cLabelName) noconsole to printer

Just in case... I'd rather do

cLabelName = 'label_1.1x4.lbx'

So that it can see the extension.
