Thanks to Bill, Joe and Jim for their timely responses. I like the idea of scanning in a card as a BMP and them using that as a starting template. I haven't much played with the label-making capabilities within DXBase, yet, even though I've been a user for, oh, about <mumble>2003. Having kids, job responsibility expansion, wife with dynamic career, building a new QTH... All the usual excuses.
I'll begin my tinkering and see what happens. My printer is a Canon iP4000 and it handles all manner of card stock (some pretty heavy) without trouble. It should handle my QSLs with aplomb. Thanks again!
