1. Figure 12 Data Binding in Microsoft Access Please ensure that the barcode type corresponds with the data that you want to encode If the source string contains characters which cannot be encoded with the selected symbolo gy an error message will be displayed instead of the barcode Hint You can also enter a fixed value or an expression as data source Example The expression fields ArticleNo and Price for the EAN13 P5 7 3 3 Specify Data via VBA Code ArticleNo Price could be used for concatenating the data Using VBA Visual Basic for Applications you can specify the barcode data per code For more information please refer to section 8 4 WWW TEC IT COM Page 24 of 73 8 Programming TBarCode VBA 8 1 General TBarCode can be used in Microsoft Office and all other applications e g development environ ments which support ActiveX controls The TBarCode object can be inserted as part of any form document report or spreadsheet and it can be created as invisible instance which is used for printing only This chapter gives basic introductions on how to use the TBarCode OCX with VBA For additional information and sample applications check out Appendix A 8 2 Microsoft Office and VBA Upon insertion the TBarCode control is usually named TBarCode11n where nis a consecutive number This name can be used for addressing the TBarCode control in the VBA code You ca
