Hi Joan,

Knowing us as well as you do, I would hope you had considered the
JacanaForms solution.  There are a couple of possibilities that may be
helpful to understand.  First, of course, is the ability to create
"pretty" documents - while the source would be the forms document and
not Word, it would still provide the needed function (how often are the
Word docs expected to be changed?).  Second, there are two possibilities
for tying together the printing of the docs - either by generating a
separate spool file with the information needed for the "Word" form (or
just dummy data to drive the printing), or by scripting within
JacanaForms to produce specific documents based on the criteria on the
pack list itself.

Momentum is the developer of Info WorkPlace and JacanaForms
applications.

To all -

I've been charged with an "inter-species breeding project."

What we want to happen is to use the COM user exit UMBSHP3R (Exit: Pack
List) to automatically print a Word document when an item or items on a
packing list meet certain criteria. It would be ideal if they would
print on
the same printer, one after the other, so the shipping clerk could pick
up
the whole stack and slap it into the packing list "baggie" without
having to
assemble anything.

Anyone else doing this?  Thanks - Joan
