ActiveBarcode Bind Demo

This is a Word demo for binding a bookmark to a barcode. Binding is not available “out of the box” for Word as it is known from Excel or Access. We need some simple lines of VBA code to make binding work in Word. Here is how it works:

A bookmark is bind to a barcode object. For this demo we put a variable (field) that has the date/time inside the bookmark. The field could be anything what you want – like a value from an external source (i.e. database) or your own text. The timestamp that we use here is just an easy way to show what is going on. A timer checks if the content of the bookmark has changed and updates the barcode. This provides the binding as known from Excel or Access.

You can use this simple technique to create even complex labels, forms and reports with Word. For more information, support and individual solutions visit http://www.activebarcode.com
