Can Access make reports with bar codes based on data from
the database.

Soren:

Yes, Access can do bar codes. All you need for a standard bar code is a
Code-39 true type font on your system. Then set the font for the control
that contains the value to display as a bar code to that font and wrap the
value in an asterisk at the beginning and end (Note you may need to rename
the control so that it doesn't reference itself.) The control source would
look like = "*" & [NameOfValueField] & "*". Do a web search for Code-39
fonts, there are many free ones out there on the web.
