Microsoft Access Barcode
Well I would like to not have a separate computer at each station, I would like them all to connect to the same computer.
Barcode software for Access 365, 2019, 2016, 2013. The barcode control is bound to the data base field and shows the code of the current data set as EAN-128 barcode. One last hint: A report is designed in a lower resolution that it is using while printing. So it may be required that you create the barcode control with a much bigger font. In this video on how to add barcodes in Microsoft Access 2013, Steve Bishop give you a tutorial on how to add bar codes to your Access 2013 reports for bar code scanners to read.
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 forms and reports. Once installed in a database, no additional fonts or components need to be installed to create barcodes; it is the complete barcode generator that stays with the database, even when distributed. Generate and Print Barcodes in Microsoft Access. Simply choose Insert Object from the menu and select TBarCode SDK (ActiveX ® control element). A bar code appears instantly in your Microsoft Access Report. Any arbitrary field and any printout can be printed as barcode. Without writing a line of program code you print bar codes with your own report data!
The end goal: I would like the user at each station to check in/check out each barcode (item), and have 3 things written to my tables: The barcode, a time stamp for each check in and check out, and the station that did the scanning.
If I have 2+ scanners connected to a computer, this is where my issue arises to identify which scanner did the scanning.
My idea is if I have another barcode which presides at each station to identify that station which users can scan when they check in or check out an item, if they scan that, can it be entered into my form under the station column for that entry. I know that these scanners only work as keyboards, but can I control where the data goes in my table depending on the entry.
For example. Let's say I create barcodes for the stations that all start with 123 and end with something different to differentiate the stations. Epson xp 410 manual. When scanned, can Access identify that '123' sequence in the barcode and put it into my station entry in the form?
I'm sorry if this is hard to follow, I'm trying to get my ideas across as best as possible.
Hi Larry,
A barcode scanner is just a fancy keyboard, as far as Access is concerned. You set focus to a textbox, hit Scan, and the scanned value appears as if you had typed it yourself. Maybe it's a MemberID.
If it's a MemberID, and you want to show the details for that member, the simplest way I can think of is in the textbox' AfterUpdate event (which happens when you tab out of it):
In the textbox AfterUpdate event, write two lines of code:
Me.myPersonName = DLookup('PersonName', 'tblMembers', 'MemberID=' & Forms!myForm!myMemberID)
Me.myPersonName = DLookup('ExpirationDate', 'tblMembers', 'MemberID=' & Forms!myForm!myMemberID)
(of course I'm just guessing at your objectnames)

Tom,

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the slow response back but my scanner died and I had to get a new one. I have tried your coding but apparently there is something else I forgot. I assumed I merely needed to have a unique barcode assigned to each person on the main table but the scanner is not acknowledging the code. How do I 'assign' the barcode a specific person? Novice instructions greatly appreciated. Thanks for any assist.
