I also used jean marie's code ean13 for Excel but not for Access. have you tried tweaking the font size and/or the text location? I retired and haven't used Access for several years, but I remember the same issue with my code for upc-a. I changed the text box text location from bottom to top or center and it displayed fine. Also the size makes a difference. Seems anything under 16 point did not display well. I just tried my old db and found the upc-a text boxes are all screwed up. Guess I will have to check my code to see what is wrong.
The ean13 script when I run it in Excel will convert the barcode number to a series of numbers and letters which when I use the ean13 font in Excel will display as a barcode. If I import the converted barcode number to Access and use the ean13 font it will also display the barcode. The problem seems to be that the ean13 script does not work in Access even though once you load the module Access recognises the function you have created.
This is the script I am using:
Public Function Lean1$(chaine$)
'V 1.0
'Paramètres : une chaine de 12 chiffres
'Retour : * une chaine qui, affichée avec la police EAN13.TTF, donne le code barre
' * une chaine vide si paramètre fourni incorrect
Dim i%, checksum%, first%, CodeBarre$, tableA As Boolean
ean13$ = ""
'Vérifier qu'il y a 12 caractères
If Len(chaine$) = 12 Then
'Et que ce sont bien des chiffres
For i% = 1 To 12
If Asc(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)) < 48 Or Asc(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)) > 57 Then
i% = 0
Exit For
End If
Next
If i% = 13 Then
'Calcul de la clé de contrôle
For i% = 2 To 12 Step 2
checksum% = checksum% + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1))
Next
checksum% = checksum% * 3
For i% = 1 To 11 Step 2
checksum% = checksum% + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1))
Next
chaine$ = chaine$ & (10 - checksum% Mod 10) Mod 10
'Le premier chiffre est pris tel quel, le deuxième vient de la table A
CodeBarre$ = Left$(chaine$, 1) & Chr$(65 + Val(Mid$(chaine$, 2, 1)))
first% = Val(Left$(chaine$, 1))
For i% = 3 To 7
tableA = False
Select Case i%
Case 3
Select Case first%
Case 0 To 3
tableA = True
End Select
Case 4
Select Case first%
Case 0, 4, 7, 8
tableA = True
End Select
Case 5
Select Case first%
Case 0, 1, 4, 5, 9
tableA = True
End Select
Case 6
Select Case first%
Case 0, 2, 5, 6, 7
tableA = True
End Select
Case 7
Select Case first%
Case 0, 3, 6, 8, 9
tableA = True
End Select
End Select
If tableA Then
CodeBarre$ = CodeBarre$ & Chr$(65 + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)))
Else
CodeBarre$ = CodeBarre$ & Chr$(75 + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)))
End If
Next
CodeBarre$ = CodeBarre$ & "*" 'Ajout séparateur central
For i% = 8 To 13
CodeBarre$ = CodeBarre$ & Chr$(97 + Val(Mid$(chaine$, i%, 1)))
Next
CodeBarre$ = CodeBarre$ & "+" 'Ajout de la marque de fin
Lean1$ = CodeBarre$
End If
End If
End Function
