This was one of the first challenges in my professional life, creating a label printing application using Microsoft Access.
I had to set up two GK420t Zebra label printers first, which was not as easy as I thought it will be, but thanks to the help of the Zebra technologies company support service, and after hours of searching on the internet, I finally managed to configure them. After that, it was time to write my first line of code in VBA language, to create my first Microsoft Access application. Even though it wasn’t required I even managed to directly connect my new application directly to the printers, skipping the ‘Save as PDF’ step, making the printing process way faster.
Demo of the application:
