Print a Barcode

[Al P]

I would like to print an employee ID badge using a windows printer, and have
a barcode for the employee clock number.

Can someone show me how to do it.

Thanks.

I would like to print an employee ID badge using a windows printer, and have
a barcode for the employee clock number.

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.

For more info and links see the Using bar codes within an application
page at my website at http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/barcode.htm

Al,

Take a look at our page for detailed instructions with screen shots on
how you can set it up in Access Reports:

http://www.barcodewiz.com/screenshots_Access2000.asp

Although the page shows our ActiveX component (BarCodeWiz ActiveX),
the procedure is similar with any barcode component which has data
binding capabilities.

You can also download a demo of the component -- it includes an Access
2000 file for you to "play with."

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

A very easy and cheap way would be to use an ActiveX control in a
report. The control binds to the field with your data and will update
the barcode as the records change. See
