Question : Better way to print name tags from Access, anyone?

Hello, I have a client who uses an Access database to manage travelers on trips, but they need a better way to print name tags... I've currently got an Access report to print them, but they always have design issues with it because the design features of access reports are very limited to the users... I can redesign templates pretty easily, but I cannot redesign the report for every trip they run.

What would be cool is some kind of run-time addin so that they could adjust the design themselves to accommodate for things like different size/shape cliparts, longer or shorter trip names, and so forth.

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks in advance,

--Jon

OK,

I've added a report that is based on the form.  Still only have two controls, but both are now functional.  I also added a preview button, so you can see on the report how the changes you made on the form will affect how the label looks.  All you need to do is add a couple of more controls, maybe tweak the subroutines that refer to the report controls so that the names work out right.

Then, if you want to take it further, you could use boaq's idea and save the various formats to a table and allow the user to select a format from the table.
