Open shell "Bartender", Print labels, then close

Hello,

We are using an excel file to generate our label data. I have a simple shell comand that opens our barcode software "bartender". I would like a vba though that will open the bartender program, print the default template that automatically comes up, and then close the program.

Sub Open_file()



 Shell ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Seagull\BarTender Suite\bartend.exe")

 End Sub

Hi, I just read your question while looking for the same answer. I know it's many years later, but I found this page on how to create VBA code for automated bartender printing and I wanted people to find this answer when they look at the thread if anyone would need it.

This is directly from Seagull (Bartender), so it's accurate.

Hope this helps!
