ActiveX Controls, Office Add-in or VBA Macros incompatible with Office 2010 64-bit
Affected Products:
- All Barcode Font Packages except MICR and OCR
- ActiveX Control and DLL
- Native Barcode Generator for Microsoft Access
- VBA Macro for Barcode Fonts
- Word and Excel Add-in for Barcode Fonts
Problem(s):
Following a Microsoft update in June 2010 and the release of new 64 bit operating systems, an incompatibility issue with the 64 bit version of Office 2010 and our ActiveX controls, the Word Excel Add-in and the VBA macros was discovered. The ActiveX control and DLL will install and register with the 64 bit version of Windows and can be used everywhere except for 64 bit Office 2010.
If one of the font packages mentioned above is being used, the Font Encoder Application is still functional. The Word and Excel Add-in will throw an error when running the installation. The VBA macro will throw and error when trying to use one of the functions. All of the components mentioned are compatible with 32 bit versions of Office 2010.
Solution(s):
All of the products mentioned below have been reengineered to work with the 64 bit version of Office 2010 and released as of October 18th 2010.
