Is it possible for VBA to search a text file for a string of characters and then edit that string, without opening the file?
I have an access database that prints out barcodes. The windows driver for the printer duplicates the block of characters for each label it prints, making the printer extremely slow. By printing the label to a file *.prn and editing the quantity value I can speed the printer up to it's intended speed. I want VBA to handle this without user intervention.
Is this at all possible?
thanks
