Printing barcodes

I need to print barcodes with normal characters on labels
from my which has a VB.net front end. The database is a
library system, the barcode represents the bookid - the
isbn is not used. The book name needs to be printed under
the barcode. The printing can be done on sheet labels.
Can anyone advise or point me in the direction of a
suitable module please?

There are several (commercial) components that do the
trick. Check out <http://www.componentso urce.com>. An
alternative is to use a TrueType font, but it depends on
the type of barcode you want to use. I know there is a
free "Code-3-Of-9" (sometimes referred to as "Code 39")
font available on the web. Can't remember the exact
website, but you should be able to find it with Google...

HTH.
