Preview Image
Having a preview image on a data entry form is a cool feature. However, I've found the image doesn't look the same as the real preview image I get after pressing the 'Preview' button. All items on the label which get their data from VB scripts remain blank. How can I fix this issue?

How is BarTender being controlled? Through some sort of Windows application you are developing yourself? Are you using the COM or .NET automation method?
I assume you're using the ExportToImage() method, when what you really need to use is the ExportPrintPreviewToImage() method which will result in a series of images, as per the quantity of labels, with the correct data sourced items appearing as they would in a real print job. See the BarTender Help for the full reference and directions on how to use this.
*Note: The ExportPrintPreviewToImage requires the Enterprise Automation edition.0 -

What I did was to place a picture control in my data entry form with the source of the picture data set to 'preview of printed item'. But the preview image appears lacks all items generated by VB scripts.0 -
That is correct, currently the preview picture in the data entry form will not display the results of any VB script in the label format. 0
