Word 97/2000/XP Macro Installer for B-coder

Download. This is a Word document template that automatically installs several powerful Word macros directly into the Word "Tools" menu. The macros that it installs automate the process of creating bar codes using B-Coder Pro from within Word. The macros can be used to generate bar code labels, convert selected text to a bar code, prompt the user for a bar code message and then automatically insert the bar code into a document or search through a document and change any text formatted with a special Bar Code style from text into a bar code. Requires B-Coder Professional Edition/Demo 3.0 or later. This is a fantastic add on to B-Coder Pro if you are a Word user.

While the B-Coder v4.0 demo includes the Word 97/2000/XP Macro installer, these macros are updated from time to time. Check back regularly to download updated macros.

B-Coder Database Examples for Microsoft Access 97 and 2000

Download. Fully automate bar code generation in Microsoft Access. This example database shows several techniques including how to fill up a table with bar codes in a single operation as well as insert bar codes one at a time in a table. It also shows how to print reports and labels containing bar codes.

This file is an excellent demonstration of how to create and print bar codes in Access using
B-Coder. This database requires either the professional edition of B-Coder or the demo version listed above.

N.B. While it is possible to use B-Coder with Access, it is much easier and more efficient to use our ActiveX Control. B-Coder uses macros to copy and paste barcode images into an OLE field in your table. This means that your database grows in size and that if you modify the data in your table you must rerun the macros to update the images. Furthermore, since the VBA macros must be modified to work with the fields in your database, many inexperienced Access users have trouble setting it up. The ActiveX control does not require any code and can be added to a form or report in Access just like a textbox control, simply set the Control Source Property of the control to a field in a table or query, then run your form or report. That's all there is to it! The ActiveX control even comes with it's own sample Microsoft Access database.

The following image file formats may be opened by Image Wiz however the image can only be converted to any of the above file formats:

Please Note: ImageWiz is a 16 bit application. While it will run trouble-free on 32 bit versions of Windows you will not be able to save the images with long filenames (though you can of course rename the files after they have been created.)
