Dim btApp As BarTender.Application

'Declare a BarTender document variable

Dim btFormat As BarTender.Format

'Declare a BarTender design object variable

Dim btObject As BarTender.DesignObject

'Create a new instance of BarTender

btApp = New BarTender.Application

'Set the BarTender application visible

btApp.Visible = True

'Open a BarTender document

btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\Format1.btw", False, "")

'Set the object variable

btObject = btFormat.Objects.Find("Barcode 1")
