Generating a barcode from cell data
I need a macro or some such app that will automatically create a 3 of 9
barcode in a worksheet from data in a particular cell. When data in the cell is changed, the barcode changes automatically. Does anyone know of any free code on the web that will accomplish this? If not free, any suggestions of purchase code? Thanks! |

Generating a barcode from cell data
The best way of doing this is to use the 3 of 9 barcode font!

Generating a barcode from cell data
Think you just need a font that displays the 3 of 9 barcode. From a
previous post by David McRitchie: If you are printing 3of9 barcodes it should simply be a matter of font.

Generating a barcode from cell data
Thanks for the suggestion.
However...is there any way to 'embed' the font so that the file opened on another machine will see the barcode? I need to be able to email the file to other users and they be able to see and print the barcodes.

Generating a barcode from cell data
Unlike Word, you can't attach or embed a font in a workbook.
You'd have to sent the font to the users and have them install it on their machines. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "clapper" wrote in message ...

Generating a barcode from cell data
Except, as I've mentioned above, I need to be able to send the workbook to
another user and they be able to open the file and see the barcode. So, fonts really don't work. Any thoughts on free or purchased macros?

Generating a barcode from cell data
Clapper,
You can do this using our BarCodeWiz Barcode ActiveX Control. You simply select one or more cells and click on "Selection To Barcodes" on the toolbar to create barcodes. The barcodes are inserted into the spreadsheet as images and you can distribute the files to other users. Please see this page for a quick overview: http://www.barcodewiz.com/msLanding.asp If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
