  • 1.  Printing from a webform to a labelwriter

    Hi workflow-ers,
    I'm putting togeter a project to help us print out asset tags to a label printer from a webform. I've already made the necessary SQL connections to give me the data I need.based on a PC serial number. Now all I need to do is find a way to print that info on a good looking label. I've made a label in my Dymo software, but I'm assuming that file wont be usable in workflow. Any ideas? -Thanks

    The Dymo label software lets you print labels from other applications -- Word, Excel, Outlook, and multiple types of databases.

    I would guess that the database import is the best method for you, as it sounds like you already have the printing data in SQL.  The option under "File" --> "Merge Print from Database".

    Will that work?

    -Wes

    I am using Dymo V.8 . I was basically using this software to design the label. Not expecting WF to be able to do anything with it. I did see where you can merge with other applications.The data is being pulled from a SQL database using the SELECTcommand component, so I don't have a filename. I just need a way to format print the information that is returned with the SELECTcommand component to a label. Is there a way to write the data from my workflow process to a word document, and then merge that with my dymo label?

    Excel would probably be easier than Word because it fits more naturally with the results of your SELECT component.

    The "Excel Write" component could put your database information into Excel format.  Then you can use the "Write File" component to save it to a file.
