I sure this has been discussed before, but I searched and didn't find it.
How can I get the bar code into mailing labels, without using "mail merge"?

Thanks,
 
hi,
Not sure what system you are useing now. but...
I have created barcode lables where i work.
1. create small form to enter required info.
2. create a report the same size as lable
I used SQL for record source to get all the lable info
from our system. you may have different needs.
3. add a text box to lable for each bar code needed. I
used ="*"+[IMA_ItemID]+"*" as text box record source from
above SQL. Set the text box Font Name to 3 of 9 barcode.
4. send report to a label print
 
I'll be the first to admit that I don't know that much about it... In Word,
you can add the US Postal bar code to mailing labels. Is the bar code
simply the zip code translated to bar code? Is that the font name you are
speaking of? I have a form consisting of contacts and addresses, and a
button that creates a mailing label. Can I create a new text box label and
have it tied to the zip code and displayed as a bar code?

Thanks for the help,
