Excel VBA Error After Windows Upgrade


I recently upgraded to a newer version of Windows.

Before the upgrade, I was able to encode barcodes in Excel (I had previously imported the VBA’s .bas file to the worksheet).

Since the upgrade, I have installed the Code 128 Fonts and I can see barcodes, the same as before.

Now, if I make any changes, I get a NAME error in Excel.

Can you advise what to do?

Operating System: Windows

Application: Excel

2016 Update:
A new product (Native Barcode Generator for Excel) has been released since this question was resolved that offers an easier method of generating barcodes in Excel.

Please make sure:
· The VBA’s .bas file is attached to the Excel file.
· The Excel worksheet is saved as an Excel macro-enabled workbook (.xlsm).

You will then be able to see the VBA functions, using fx and navigating to User Defined functions category.

The Code 128 Auto function has the following parameters:

=Code128 (DataToEncode, ReturnType, ApplyTilde)

What exactly do you mean by this? Is this a setting somewhere?

Use the Code 128 Auto function with the ReturnType set to 0 and ApplyTilde set to 1.

Ok, saving as a macro enabled workbook has fixed the name issue, but now my encoded tab key using ~009 scans as ~009 instead of inserting a tab?
