Check what Tony Toews has at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/barcode.htm

I don't think you actually require an ActiveX control, which is good news,
as it's always good to avoid ActiveX controls.

Did you read what Tony says?

I don't any connection between how you're creating the labels, and how you
read them.

I don't believe what you're talking about has much to do with Office.

Bar-code readers are hardware. How they interact with applications is more a
feature of the operating system.
