2 Copies Of Serialized Label

Legacy Poster

I am having trouble getting serialization to work from a Database.

I need to take a field from a data record and print that many labels in a quantity of 2 each.

I have number of copies set to 2 I have serialization set to read the Database record for the number of copies.

I then have a shared text field set to do the serialization and on the event of new record it resets to 1.

Then I need to take that value and append it to another record in the database and print a Barcode of the finished value.

This all works except for the last part where if I use the VB script Database connector to read the value it reads the value before the serialization event happens so I do not get the proper value appended to the 2nd field.

Please help

Thanks

Russ

  Hi Russ, you need to move that last VB script to the 'OnPostPrompt' event. That way it won't process until after the prompts and serialization is done.
