Barcodes mean

1) a means of reading them. These devices usually fit between your
keyboard and your computer and mimic someone keying in the code
directly. All you need to do in your app is a little forms design to
ensure someone can continuously feed bar codes into your app and
change the quantity occasionally.

2) A means of printing them. Choose the proper barcode and locate an
appropriate font. Place the font file on all the systems which will
be printing bar codes. On the report(s) change the font on a field to
use the bar code font. Some bar codes like having *s before and after
while others like check digits.

For more info and links see the Using bar codes within an application
page at my website at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/barcode.htm

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.
