Printing with a BARCODE font

[Yaniv]

Hello!
I have a DATAMAX barcode printer E-4203 and it comes with
a barcode font... so if I'm printing via WORD a number
using this font then it's OK (it comes out as a barcode).
The problem starts when I try to print in the same way
via ACCESS report (it comes out as numbers and not like a
barcode).


I'm using WINDOWS 2000 with Office XP.
Thanks!

Change the font for the control to your bar code font. Then be sure to
modify the value of the control with an asterisk before and after the value
itself to make the output readable as a bar code (code 39 type) as in:

ControlSource = "*" & YourField & "*"
