FAQ: TBarCode Office Excel Add-In

Excel Not Responding, Freezes or Stops Working

Excel Not Responding, Freezes or Stops Working

Too Many Bar Codes

Excel 2016 and 2019 is more sensitive about the number of bar codes inserted into one spreadsheet than other versions. Each bar code - especially when insert as ActiveX Control - is consuming GDI objects for drawing the bar code. Once the limit of available GDI objects is reached, Excel cannot respond anymore and must be terminated in Task Manager.

Solution: Reduce the number of bar codes in your sheet and embed the barcodes as EMF picture (default format in 10.9.0 or later). More information about add-in limitations and hints for troubleshooting can be found in the user manual.

Incompatible Plugins

Please verify if you have installed other third party plugins, which may interfere with the TBarCode/Office add-in. We received customer reports about issues with the Dymo® Label printer plugin, the Showcase Query Add-In, the Autodesk® Inventor® and Adobe® PDFMaker (when installed in parallel).

Make every label, code and scan work the first time.
