I'd like to print a bar code on a report.

How do I do this. I checked kb and it talked about a bar code font, but I
don't know where to a bar code font.

Please let me know how to print bar codes.

Thanks.

Go to Google.Com and type a search for the words "barcode" "fonts" "free". You will
get plenty of hits. Once you have a font on your system you use it just as you would
any other. For 3 of 9 bar codes you would just need to add an asterisk to the start
and end of the "word" that you want displayed as a barcode.
 
Awesome!

Thanks.

The easiest way to print bar codes from an Access database would be to
use a bar code ActiveX control that is designed specifically for this
purpose.
With a bar code ActiveX control, you just drop the control into a
report, bind it to a field in a table or query and when you print your
report, the bar codes get printed automatically for you.

The best bar code ActiveX control available is from TAL Technologies.
Visit the following URL for more information:

You can download a demo version of the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control
from the above web page. The demo comes with a sample Access database
that demonstrates how to use the control in Access to print bar code
labels.
