CM-B-D  Print Mailing Labels

Purpose of Program

Use this program to produce batches of mailing labels via a wide range of selection criteria.

You have a choice of three label formats.  1-up labels print on standard 3-1/2" x 15/16 continuous form labels.  2-up labels (Avery 5161) and 3-up labels (Avery 5160) print on laser forms.

You can also use this program to export contact E-mail addresses into a text file that can be imported into E-mail programs for sending group messages.

General Program Operation

Enter a Selection ID code, which is user defined, along with a description.  Your mailing list selections will be saved in a selection history database, keyed to this code.  If you ever want to print labels using this exact same set of selections again, all you have to do is enter the selection code and your prior selections will fill the screen.

Enter the Date. If you wish to restrict the labels to a certain Rep's accounts, enter a from/thru range of Rep codes; otherwise leave the Rep fields blank.

Next, enter the Output Type.  Enter an L if wish to print labels; enter an E if you wish to export E-mail addresses to a text file.

Indicate whether to print the Contact Name, which contact to include, and whether or not to include records that do not have an entry for the specified contact number.

Next, you can enter a first group of up to 20 individual class codes from the class file for inclusion in the mailing list.  Any account that has any of these codes will be included in the list.  If you leave them all blank, all class codes will be selected.

You can then enter another group of up to 20 class codes which limits the names selected from the first group.  Only those of the first group that have all the class codes entered in the second group will be selected.  

Indicate whether to include customers only or to exclude customers.

You can optionally enter up to 11 Status Codes, a single key date code and a from/thru range of key dates.  You can then enter from/thru ranges of account codes, states, zip codes, SIC codes, lead sources, start dates, territory codes, Rep and # Employees.

If you are printing labels, after all your selections have been made you are prompted as to which label format you want to use.  Once you select a format, you are presented with the standard List, Print prompt and you can proceed with printing.

If you are exporting E-mail addresses, after all your selections have been made you are prompted to enter a path and a name of the text file you want created.  If you leave the path blank, the file will be created in your program folder ?typically EVOERP or DBAMFG on your server.  You are given a default name for the text file, which can be overridden if you wish.
