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.

page at my website at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/barcode.htm

Eliana,

BarCodeWiz ActiveX may do exactly what you need. It's a plug-in,
which can be easily used directly within Access.

If you have a minute, please download the demo here:

The demo includes several examples of using barcodes on reports and
forms. Also, for step-by-step instructions on setting up BarCodeWiz
in Access, please see our screen shots page:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
