FAQ: Access
| Access 2000: Does ActiveBarcode work with Access 2000? | Yes, ActiveBarcode works fine with Access 2000. Please note that Access 2000-2003 always requires a developer license of ActiveX controls. If you want to use the ActiveBarcode control in Access 2000-2003 you need the Enterprise Edition of ActiveBarcode.

| ActiveBarcode and Microsoft Access: What do you have to do to bind your ActiveBarcode control to a Access form or report so that the barcode automatically changes when a record is set or the data field is changed? | Simply select "Insert ActiveX-Control". From the list select the ActiveBarcode control. Now click with the right mouse button on the control and select the "Property" menu. Choose the "Data" tab (may also be called "Data binding" - I cannot say exactly because I have only the German version). In the "Control Content" Cell open the combo box. You can now see all data fields that can be bound to the control. Select the desired data fieldname and that is it. To test the result, select form-view and scroll through the records: You can see that the control changes every time the record set changes.

| Too small text line: The problem I have is that when I see a preview or print a report in MS Access, the numbers below the code appear very very small. | In Access a report is designed in a lower resolution (pixels per inch) that it is using while printing. So it is required that you create the barcode control with a much bigger font size than you would normally use. Otherwise the text line under the barcode may be very very small in your print. So change the font size for the text line (font.size property of the control) to a much bigger size even if the barcode control may display a size error in design mode.

| Developer licence: Why do I need a developer license for Access? I use the database unique on a PC and is not distributed. | The license model for controls which was developed by Microsoft intends user and developer licenses. With Access versions 2000 to 2003 it's all the same what you make with it. A developer license of Access is demanded. Therefore, you need for Access a developer license, even if it seems unnecessary.
