The easiest way I can think of is to use a barcode font. Try sniffing around
on your favorite other news server. There might be a
public domain version of Code 3-of-9 available in somebody's library.
The best way to print bar codes from an Access database report is to
use a bar code ActiveX control. Fonts produce poor quality bar codes
that can be difficult to read. With fonts, you also have to add start
and stop codes to the bar code data and you also have to calculate
check digits yourself. A good bar code ActiveX control will do
everything for you and it will also be much easier to use - in
addition to printing much better quality bar codes.
The best bar code ActiveX control available is the TAL Bar Code
ActiveX control. You can download a trial version from complete with
an Access database sample that shows how to use it from: http://www.taltech.com/products/activex_barcodes.html
