This example illustrates how to use BarCodeWiz ActiveX Control in Microsoft Access Reports. The process is similar In Access 97 and Access 2003.


We will use an already existing inventory table (Table1) for barcode data.

Double click on Create report in Design view.
  


To insert BarCodeWiz into Microsoft Access, go to Insert->ActiveX Control ...
Select BarcodeWiz Class, and click OK.
  


BarCodeWiz component will appear in the Detail section of your report design page.



Double-click on the square in the upper left part of the report window in order to show the properties window.

Select the Data tab and choose the table to use in our report. In our case, there is only one table - Table1



Click on the control in order to show its properties.



From the properties window select the data column from your table for the Control Source. Not surprisingly, in our case, the barcode information is stored in the Barcode field.


If you wish to show other data-bound information on your report page, simply drag the item and drop it onto the report page. In our example, we are adding ItemName below the barcode image.

That's all there is to it! Click on Print Preview or Print to see your generated report.
