Is there any ActiveX controls support for Bar Code ?

[edisonl via AccessMonster.com]

Hi,

I am developing an application requires to generate bar code using Access
2003.

Understand that Access 2003 does not come with font type supporting Bar code,
any solution without purchasing new products or download third party freeware
?

Regards, Edison

Do a Google search for Code 39 barcode font. There are numerous places you
can download it for free. You don't need anything special to print barcodes.
Once you install Code 39, you specify that font as your print font and print
with a laser printer.

Hi Gina,

Your kindness is appreciate, however I had already ActiveX install in the
particular system, just need to tap it thats all.

The issue is how do I go about inserting the ActiveX controls- Microsoft
Barcode9.0 into it ?

Go with Gina' suggestion.
ActiveX controls are problematic. For example, there is little or no
support on how to use most of them and there are also licensing issues. If
you install you app on multiple computers, you will need to have a license
for each computer and the control will have to be installed on that computer.

There is nothing to download. Just follow the instructions i posted. I only
mentioned password crackers to show the futility of using database passwords.

Edison,

Nothing to download and they can't possibly object to a font??? As Dave
said, ActiveX controls will cause you AND your company more grief in the
future.

Hello Gina. I have a code39 font download but having an issue. I'm making a
DB that will print a 2x1 inch label that has a field in barcode font and
regular text. The field is my autonumber, however I have changed its format
so its ... "BT"000000...So every record will be
BT000001...BT000002...BT000003. So far so good...I have already downloaded a
code39 font and it works great.

The problem is when I add a start/stop characters to the control source of
that barcoded field so it can be scanned, it ignores my format and treats it
like any other autonumber field, i.e...1....2.....3. So when I print my label
(Zebra label printer) it prints the barcode and text underneath
is...*1*....*2*.....and scans a 1....2....3...So basically the control source
is ignore the format I have put in place. below is my control source.
="*" & [table.field] & "*"

Any ideas?

You can use Code39 as the barcode format if you just encode a couple
of characters. Take a look at Morovia Code39 fonts at
http://www.morovia.com/font/code39.asp.
