Letter Packs

I'm looking at a few controls and have come up with a program which is a letter pack.

It would be great if someone could help me with this (i've only just started programming :) )

I've included everything in the attached Doc file as it is easier to explain.

Thanks

Pixie :)

i suggest you use drivelistbox,dirlistbox,filelistbox to get the path. sumthing like

dim paths as string

paths = <name of drivelistbox> & <name of dirlistbox> & _
<name of filelistbox>

if your refering Letter as drive letters you could also use the drivelistbox.

using this listboxes its ez to get the files your looking for...
sample:

Private Sub Dir1_Change()
File1 = Dir1
End Sub

Private Sub Drive1_Change()
Dir1 = Drive1
End Sub

as for the database
if your using adodc
adodc.recordest.addnew/delete

i guessing here becoz i didnt quite understand what your trying to do... i hope this helps... sori if its a waste...

Hiya,

It's not a waste :)

What I mean by Letters is actual Crystal Reports Letters.

Basically, I need the program to work like this...
1. Use Clicks "Create Pack" This then brings up a screen that allows a user to enter the name of the pack. The pack name (and an image) appears in the left hand control.

2. User clicks once on the Pack (call it test1) test1 and searches using the drive / file listings, clicks on a crystal repoort that they want to appear as part of Test1 and click "Add Letter".

3. This then adds the Letter name to the test1 pack and the name of the report appears indented underneath it.
This then also puts the information e.g. Pack ID, Letter ID, LetterPath, LetterName information in the database.

4.User can have multiple packs and crystal reports.

The whole idea behind the program in the end is that , when printing, all they have to do is select the pack and click on "PrintPack" and this will print all the crystal Reports that are par of the pack.

Hope this is a better explination :D
