linking to ups ship

[wald]

I am creating an order tracking database.

When an order is complete I need to print a shipping label.

(I use UPS Ship. )

Anybody know of a way to automate the label printing process (so I don't have to ender the name and address into ups for each order).

Thank you.

Create a layout suitable for printing the label (remember to go to Page Setup or Print Setup).

Create a script that goes to that layout, performs the Page Setup (no dialog), and prints.

The issue is that I need the UPS label with the UPS bar codes and such.

I'm thinking I'll just have to do a manual export each time.

Assuming you can feed the UPS label thru your printer...

Bar codes are simply a matter of (a) having the correct font, and ( programming a "BarCode" field to return the right number. The rest is just setting up a layout so that everything prints in the right place on the UPS label.

It's a thought, anyway.
