* 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 novice 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. Thats all there is to it! The ActiveX control even comes with its own sample Access database.
