Multiple Size Templates
Good Afternoon,
I have multiple size labels.
I would like to set up one bartender document with a different size template for each label. I would then have each template set to print only if certain database field = X.
Is this a possibility?
Thanks for your help,
Yon

Page size cannot be modified by BarTender itself, and all templates in a document need to be the same dimension.
If you're printing from custom application by ActiveX, you can modify page size. see sample below:

Another thought is have 2 different template, and using database query, document A to print only the field value is X and document B to print only field value is not X.
You can run 2 documents by Commander multiple tasks or from Batch Maker.

can 1 label, through code, call another label or run any other program?

You cannot open another label format document from a document. It's possible to run other program using VB Script, but I don't recommend that for this case. Try BatchMaker instead - you can run batches from Print Station too.
This is vbscript sample in onPrintEnd event control script.

In BarTender 2016 still there's no change in templates structure (single document can only print variable layout to the same printer with the same size).
However using Batch Maker, you can print different documents to different printer by single action - which might helps.
