Hello,

I was curious if anyone can help point me in a particular direction for what I'm trying to do...Basically, I'm trying to automate the process of boring data entry for labels. I made a macro for the repetitive clicking about to put the barcode and text in the right place and the only required user action is to type in the name of the product. I'd like to remove that step entirely and have the process be fully automatic! I was thinking because the barcode is right there, I would like to have a program that pulls the name (the one that the user has to type out) FROM the UPC and inputs the name. All of the product names/UPCs are currently in an .xls excel spreadsheet...

Any ideas? Can I keep the macro? Am I going to have to write a program? I realize this is all pretty specific, but any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!
