Butch,

I cannot speak to Datamax printers specifically, but I know as others have
already written if the printer has a print language of its own you can make
filePro speak to the printer.  I used Zebra printers and the ZPL code.  It
worked great and fit right into filePro processing tables.  I created a
number of tables for different applications and CALLED them from a main
table.

One clue -  as you know, you learn tomorrow how to make what you did today
better.  Keeping that in mind be sure to allow yourself room to grow and
insert code.  I used I believe what were called LABELS or something like
that for Zebra (the requirement was of filePro's making) but I found myself
re-numbering many many lines because I added code and did not leave
sufficient 'available label numbers' open to insert between existing code.
