Design A Label in 5 Minutes
Import Label Data From Almost
Any Database or
Spreadsheet
The Bar Tender has been
written to support Microsoft's ODBC standard (for "Open Database
Connectivity"). You can therefore read label data from
literally dozens of data formats, including those shown in the
expanded version of this screen. (Or, view the appropriate section
of the Specifications and Feature
Summary.)

Reading Label
Data From Databases and Text
Files | |
SQL (for Structured
Query Language) is built right into ODBC for easy, yet powerful
searching through almost any data source. The Bar Tender's
easy-to-use SQL front-end delivers five convenient ways to extract
data:
- Entire File.
Prints a label for every record in a data
file.
- Record Range. Specifies a numeric range of records to
print.
- Search on Field. After prompting you for data for a
field, the rest of the label is automatically found and printed.

Easy,
Cost-Effective Client/Server
Connectivity | |
ODBC drivers available
for UNIX, AS/400 and other platforms allow both simple searches and
complex queries of client/server applications such as Oracle, Sybase
and Informix.
