Use C128Tools within Microsoft Access to create Code 128 barcodes in your Access database. Our free sample code converts your input data into the equivalent Code 128 bar code.
It’s a two-part process: pass your data into our function and then format the returned value into one of our barcode fonts. The function adds the necessary start and stop bars, calculates the mandatory Code 128 check digit, and maps the result into our fonts’s character set. You can not simply format a string in our fonts. It won’t be a scannable symbol because it won’t have the start and stops bars nor the check digit. You’ve been warned.
Some find our Visual Basic functions a good reference point when writing their own code. They transform your data into a Code 128 symbol. They’re provided here as a learning resource.
We strongly recommend using the above sample files to get started. Suggestions and feedback are heartily encourage.
