barcodes - Microsoft Access / VBA

Dale Geffs

I have a need to print barcodes from database fields. What is everyone
using these days to do this? I haven't used barcodes since my dBase
days almost 15 years ago. What's new?

Barcodes mean

1) a means of reading them. These devices usually fit between your keyboard and
your computer and mimic someone keying in the code directly. All you need to do in
your app is a little forms design to ensure someone can continuously feed bar codes
into your app and change the quantity occasionally.

2) A means of printing them. 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

Printing barcodes in a production environment?

by: Murray Elliot | last post by:

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to solve a particular problem. A client wants to print barcode labels from their (web/php based application). The barcode labels are very small, so I'm guessing that doing a screendump via a standard inkjet isn't going to work (i.e. might need somehow to print to a barcode printer!) Any ideas where to start? Thanks in advance.

I'm a newbie and I have to take data from access (inventory), put the table into a label-making software. Then I need to find a way to scan the barcodes and have that call up the data in access. Microsoft says Access doesn't support barcodes, but I can find 3rd party add-ins. No luck on my search. How do I use barcodes in access? thanks
