Is there a way to convert the Business Card Repeat example to not write a
temp file (...\\tempout.txt) and not be linked to an external data file
(...\\Test.txt) ?  This is an ongoing job & I am trying to get away from
changing the rule every time.  I would like it just to be linked to a
field.  (official = Int(sf.GetFieldValue(i, "official"));)  Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
