I have created an asset tracking database that I have been using for a couple
of years. I want to add barcoding for deliveries, pick-ups, and in-warehouse
staus changes. Is this possible and if so how?

Most or all barcode reading hardware comes with compatible barcode fonts for
printing. There are freeware fonts available as well. To print a barcode just
install the font and specify it as the Format property of a report textbox.
Reading barcodes is easy - the scanner usually hooks to the keyboard port and
just looks to the computer like someone typing very fast and accurately.
