    How to set up a user to print a label to print in access using bartender

    I have an access database with part numbers. I want a user to be able to print a bar code label I crated in bartender to print for the record they choose. The label is connected to the database and will return the part number and description fields on the label. I just need expression code on a toggle button to gather the infor for that record and populate the label then preview the label and then print it. Thanks

    A bar-code is just a font you can download on the web.
    Now create a report the size of the label, activate this in "Preview" from code with the added filter (See the parameters on the Docmd.OpenRepor t command) and this will allow the user to check the label before printing.

      I already have the label created with BarTender Barcode Software, and the label format already has links to the database. I can pull up the label using bartender and print labels using the data from the database. I want to create a label from the user form of the database.

        You lost me with "I want to create a label from the user form of the database."
        When you have an image in the database with the label, then a report just holding this label will do. Just add a print button with the wizard and you're done.
