Hello everybody,

Hope this is easy question to answer. I have to make A4 size form that has fixed header and footer. Between header and footer I need to create 4 variable image areas where each area is different record from database. So the structure would look something like this :

Page 1:
(header)
(record 1)
(record 2)
(record 3)
(record 4)
(footer)

Page 2:
(header)
(record 5)
(record 6)
(record 7)
(record 8)
(footer)

etc...

I have imeages in one folder and image filenames in simple textfile that I can use as database. Thats simple thing to do, but how can I make that kind of layout to work??

Thanks in advance..

Jones

Jones,

PrintShop Mail can do 4-up repetitions easy however it cannot do a static header and footer on these repetition pages, sorry.

To do this, you would actually need PlanetPress Design.

Copy that. I managed to solve this problem with different database. Now my database is actually build so that each page is one record.

Now my database looks like this

Page Pic1 Pic2 Pic3 Pic4
1 1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg 4.jpg
2 5.jpg 6.jpg 7.jpg 8.jpg
..


I'm learning something =)

Thanks for your reply
