Generating a Report from a specific part of a Form - BarCode

[OneFire]

Hey there

I am in the process of creating a database for a family business and have run into a wall. The main purpose of the database is to house job-cards and various data. I have pretty much finished the form but to complete the form entirely I want to be able to generate an automated report that only displays specific information. Here's the catch ... the piece of information I wish to display in the report is an ActiveX plugin called BarCodeWiz. With every job-sheet that is completed an automatic BarCode is generated and then printed out using a Dymo LabelWriter.

I want to be able to generate a report with the BarCode, the job number, date etc and then be able to print it to the LabelWriter all from within the Form itself. I am pretty sure this can be done but I have limited knowledge with databases

Anyone?

Thanks

Hi

instead of using an ActiveX I use a barcode font, seems to run a lot better and no overhead.

That is a possibility but I need the barcode to automatically update when the job number is incremented. Having the barcode font would simply create more work for the end-user and increase the chance of making a mistake.

I guess I will have to find some other way around it on my own.
