Bar codes in Access

[Biggles]

I hope this is not a repeat. I would like someone to show
me how you can search the newsgroups. Anyway, I am trying
to print a bar code of a job number. The field is text,
and I found the one article on how to do this (KB271622),
but it mentions using "using your bar code font". Any
idea on where I could find a bar code font?

or search the web for bar code fonts. Find true type fonts and install them
in your font directory

Excellent, I was worried there was some big thing I didn't
know and it was already on my system with a not obvious
name.

Thanks

Get in touch w/ me and I'll email you a couple of fonts
that I have used w/ Barcode Access Apps.

Be aware that most barcodes are not a straight transaltion of the text.
They require some encoding beforehand.

Also note that the encoding used to produce a barcode is to some extent
dependent upon which particular makers version of the barcode font is being
used.

Get a quality barcode font. I would recommend Code39, and you can find
them at http://www.morovia.com/font/
