How do I create a bar code in access 2000?

[Guest]

Does anyone know how you can create a barcode linked to some data in Access
2000?

You need a barcode font. Set the textbox to use that font and the data will
be converted to the barcode. To get a font that will work with your scanner,
you may need to contact the scanner manufacturer for information. Also, try
a Google search for

"bar code font"
and
"barcode font"

The best way to print bar codes from a Access report is to use a bar
code ActiveX control.
The best bar code ActiveX control available is the TAL Bar Code
ActiveX control. You can download a trial version from complete with a
sample Access database that shows how to use it:
