Take Two User Inputs And Print However Many Records
Our barcode guy at the factory has been using a slow method to print for ages. We have a database in .MDB format that contains every product we've manufactured, and while that is usually convenient it is hard for him to scroll through all the records to find what he wants to print. We want to use VB scripting and have user input for two columns of data (purchase order information & container number) and have him print out the labels for any records through those two criteria.
Any advice on how to go about this would be appreciated.

I don't think you need a VB script in order to do this.
You should be able to set up a database query that has user inputs for the two fields in question from your database and print the queried records.

you want option three in this video which starts around 4:15 into it

Thanks so much for this tip, you have saved me a ton of time. I just figured out how do it for one barcode, and now I just have to make the label itself look like our old version.

I have a follow up question - after taking two user inputs, the barcode successfully shows the serial number of our product, taken from our database file. I've managed set it up in a way that it prints correctly one barcode per page. However, what I want is to have 24 barcodes on one piece of paper, essentially one of our containers per piece of paper.
I talked to a guy in technical support at Seagull Scientific and he said BarTender version 10.1 has an option in page setup -> Page -> 'enable page templates' that would allow me to do this. We currently have version 10.0 and I'm hoping this isn't a functionality exclusive to version 10.1. Is there a way to do this on our older version, or will we have to look to VBscript?
