Hi all
I am unable to resize a barcode created from data stored in a SQL database.
The same data can be entered manually on a fixed barcode with no issue.
Print preview results and printing are also fine.
Please can someone advise what i am doing wrong.
Please see picture attached.
Thanks

Re: Barcode size with connected data
In NiceLabel v6, you can switch the design view on a label between "normal" and "data" modes.
Select View -> Data and you will see the same view as in Print Preview.
- In "normal" mode, the variable label objects do not display their current/default values, but will display a series of question marks. the number of question marks corresponds to the length of the variable (in your case the length of the connected database field).
- In "data" mode, the variable label objects will display their current/default values.
Select View -> Data and you will see the same view as in Print Preview.

Also if you wanna get rid of that length in your preview, you can put Subset Function on the barcode from SQL database with fixed lenght
