Native Barcode Generator

Overview & Features for Access Generator

The Native MS Access Barcode Generator is a VBA module that may be easily inserted into Microsoft Access databases to create bar code images on reports. Once installed in a database, no other fonts or components need to be installed to create barcodes; it is the complete barcode generator that stays with the database, even when distributed.

The Native Access Barcode Generator is a product intended for Access Developers that wish to integrate barcode capability into their databases and applications without any external dependencies. Non-developers and end users may wish to use IDAutomation's Barcode ActiveX Controls instead of this product because ActiveX Controls are easier to implement in Access.

** This package does not support UPCA, UPCE, EAN13 or EAN8 barcodes because of the required OCR text characters that must appear within this barcode type. If these barcode symbologies are required, the UPC/EAN Barcode Font Advantage is available as a separate purchase. Intelligent Mail generation requires the installation of the IDAutomationNativeFontEncoder.dll file, which may be downloaded from http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/tools/windows_dll/. The file is free to use with a valid License for the Native Barcode Generator for Access.

*** Encoding a large amount of data in with PDF417 or Data Matrix may cause Access Reports to slow down because of the complex calculations that are performed in VBA code for the generation of the barcode symbol. If this issue is observed, consider implementing IDAutomation's Barcode ActiveX Controls which are compiled in C++ for improved calculation speed.
