IDAutomation_UniC39 not identified in VBA for Excel?

Hello!

Trying to create barcodes in Excel 2013 using Excel VBA and the Universal Barcode Fonts. Have installed the IDAutomationUniversalFont_VBA and added the IDAutomation_UniversalFont_VBA-bas file into the VBA Project. Have also installed the Excel Add-in. The latter works without problems as far as I can see and I can add Formulas in the Excel sheet to transform cell data to the bar code types available.

However, when trying to call, for example, IDAutomation_UniC39, in VBA it gives a compile error and says the sub or function is not defined.

I make the function call of IDAutomation_UniC39 from a code module in the same Project.
The same error when making the call from ThisWorkbook in the same Project.

While making a Quick search the declared public function IDAutomation_UniC39 is found in the IDAutomation_UniversalFont_VBA file inside the Project.

Not sure if it matters, but IDAutomation_UniC39 works from the add-in while adding a formula in an Excel cell from the Excel sheet.

The security settings inside Excel allow pretty much Everything to Excel and VBA.

What am I missing?
How are the functions added possible to use in VBA if they are out of scope?

Finally, the bar code type I really wanted to see was QR. Is QR included in the sold versions and excluded in demo versions?

Operating System: Win8

Application: Office2013, VBA 7.1

Alternate Product Solution
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.


Solution to Original Question:

Ensure that the function is properly used within Excel for Universal Fonts. In the post, it is written as IDAutomation_UniC39. It should be IDAutomation_Uni_C39

If you receive a Compile Error

Return to the VBA and notice the code in red.

Place ' before each line of red code to comment it out.

Return to the spreadsheet and re-enter the formula.

We have the QR Code Font and Encoder Package (demo and sale) and a 2D font that can properly display in Excel.
