Barcodes??

[Nick T]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if access is able to generate barcodes?
I have a database which prints out forms, and the 'record number' is printed
out on the form. However i would like the record number to be converted to a
barcode. Any suggestions??

The easiest and best way to print bar codes in forms and reports in an
Access database is to use a bar code ActiveX control like the one
fromTAL Technologies at:
http://www.taltech.com/products/activex_barcodes.html

The TALtech bar code ActiveX control comes with a sample Access
database that demonstrates how to use it in Access forms and reports.
You just drop the control onto the form or report, set a few
properties and you will be printing bar codes in a few minutes.
