How to print barcodes from Sesame

Anyone have any thoughts on how to print Barcodes from Sesame?

Hopefully it will be easier that with my routine used in Q&A:

a. Macro search for selected records, then exports them to .txt file.
b. Wasp Label program must be started, then imports the info from the .txt file to then print barcode tags.

I see that a new version of Wasp label program uses DirectX and ActiveDLL to "imbed itself" into most database softwares. Would this include sesame?

Thanks for any advice.

Steve,

Since Sesame is a windows program just load a barcode font (any styles you use) onto the computer and then choose that font style for the elements you need in barcode.

However if you are going to use word to generate the output from Sesame it works best if the LE in Sesame is left to a human readable font and have the word document be formatted to a  font set to the barcode so when Sesame sends the data the output is formated in the word document in  a barcode font.

I am currently using this method with sesame in an application similar to what Tom described in the March inside sesame.
