Have you tried stretching the textbox the bar-code is presented in vertically? Making it a little bit taller?

AFAIK, textbox does not stretch fonts, barcode or otherwise. Watched a YouTube confirming that.
Images can be stretched but barcode is a font set.
Read a discussion indicating stretching barcode lines can make them non-functional. So even if could in Access, probably shouldn't.

I guessed as much. I haven't got anything with bar code fonts in to test it at the moment.
There was a recent thread HERE:-
VBA barcode code generator not working
VBA barcode code generator not working
Hi all, I used to generate a barcode font in MS Access 2010 normally with no issues even with the same printer, but when our company changed my desktop PC and upgraded to Windows 10 and MS Access to 2013 it's no more working I do not know how to fix this issue. I tried the same application at...

That thread shows a bar-code being drawn on the report with some special software.
In other words it doesn't use a font.
I think it would be possible to increase the height of the bar-code "BAR LINES" with the special software and make a bigger barcode.
I can't understand why the OP wants a bigger barcode? I never had any problems with them in that respect.

Not sure, but I think if you increase the Text-box font size, that should increase the size of the bar code. Can you try that?

Ah Scrub that! I see you said:- >>>without increasing the length? <<< sounds like you already tried that?

I've just done a test using a Sample Microsoft Access Database containing James Isle Mercanti's VBA for Generating a Bar-code and indeed you stretch the text box size in any way you want and the bar-code will fill it exactly! So you can have a short fat bar code or a long thin barcode, whatever you want, using that particular software.
The VBA Bar-code generator code is also provided by the OP of the other thread, this thread here:-

There are some issues with it if you're using it on 64-bit Access 2016. See the problem and a possible solution in the other thread.

Give the code a try on your version of MS Access and please report back if it is successful or not.
The barcodes are being printed on labels and forklift users need to be able to scan them at a distance. It is just easier for them if they were taller.
I will give it a shot. Thank you.
