>>Hi All,
>>I'm trying to create an automatic way to feed user selections into the label.lbx table, to customize labels starting from the Avery table selection. I've worked out most of it, but some of the replaces to the table make the label form unusable. Does anyone have a dictionary for the label metatable?
>>I start with a "seed" label, and programmatically make changes to the table seed.lbx. Changing positions and field names works well, but getting rid of a line seems troublesome.
>>Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks Mark, I'll check it out. If anyone thinks this will be useful, I'll gladly send what I have so far. Maybe others would improve and expand on it. Automatically adding postal bar codes is a possibility.

The idea again is to programmatically create labels. The user simply looks at their Avery box, selects the Avery label type from a list, previews the resulting label format, and then prints the labels. The label wizard is great, I use it myself. But calling it from a form where the user has already made most of the choices seems unecessary. Besides, programming suitable line positions is not too difficult once fontsize, number of lines, etc. are decided.
