Let me check into the problem.

It may be an issue with the programming of the barcode reader too. The reader when scanned needs to send a <CR> character too. The barcode reader we used, you were able to program this behavior, by scanning barcodes in the manual.

We have used this program in the past, and that was the only issue we had.

When you scan the code, does the number show up in the excel data entry cell, and you just need to manually hit enter?

We used a Honeywell hand scanner purchased off of ebay for about $15.

Have you tried printing with a different printer? Maybe something with the black ink? See if a Laser print out of the badges works?

This is pretty neat! We use a homegrown system built on Ruby on Rails that does a lot of this too. Good job getting all of this in Excel though. Truly impressive stuff!

Where did you find the password?
My team is also looking into a solution like this and would like to put our team logo on the badges instead of text.
