Printing Direction Arrows On Labels

Legacy Poster

Hi there...

I would like to print up/down arrows on bin location labels depending on the data coming in from a data file. Is there any way we can import two files and toggle the visibility of each icon (one for up, one for down) based on the flag in the file?

  You would need to data source either the text object with arrow symbols or picture object. Then from the data source tab in "More Options" select the "VB Scripting" tab and enter a conditional statement into the "OnProcessData" event.
  
  Example:
  
  If Field("table.field") = X then
  value = "Arrow.jpg"
  Else
  value = ""
  End If

  Hello Ian
  
  
  Thanks for that. I have also discovered that if you use the Wingdings 3 font in a text field, you can use the 'h' and 'i' characters to print an up and down arrow. I have combined this approach with the VBScript you described earlier.
