How to get barcodes into Access 2

[SharonT]

We have a barcode scanner but no software to read the barcodes into an Access database. Does anyone know where I might find a free barcode font which handles both numbers and alpha characters please?

google for font 'Code 39'

Hmmmmm
You say that you want to read bar codes. That's what the scanner does for you. Why do you need a bar code font? Are you also writing bar codes?

We have a barcode scanner to scan barcodes produced on Special Delivery and Recorded labels. We just want to be able to print the barcodes rather than having to stick all the labels on. We are scanning the barcode labels and storing the resulting alphanumeric values in the Access database with no problem. Now we just need the printing bit.

I have found some free barcode font software but it only deals with numeric values. Just thought someone might know a site with free software or if I was missing something in Access.

Thanks

This site has a free bar code font. I've used it, and it works OK, as long as you use upper case letters for it (I just use the ucase function to convert anything I'm printing a barcode for).
