For over 25 years, Malvern Systems has developed affordable, integrated, multi-carrier parcel shipping solutions for small to medium-sized companies across a wide variety of industries.

Certain events within the shipping system (e.g., pressing Print or leaving the Order Number field) can be bound to functions within your Malvern Link script.

Malvern Link's language has many time-saving features not found in VBScript. For exampe, users are not limited by VBScript's stripped down features.  Also included is a powerful editor and debugger.

As the table below shows, Malvern Link's language features are nearly identical to VBA's. Malvern Link ActiveX Scripting Control lets you use the same powerful editing and debugging features you're used to in Visual Basic. The only major difference is the forms editor is not as advanced as VBA's.
