Barcodes for Inventory Items?

[jumpyhu]

How might i generate barcodes for items in my table?
I'd love to output the values to my labelling report for scanning.

Oh, and once that is done, have you got suggestions as to how I may unite a wand with Access 97 to do inventory evaluation? Hardware/software? A big mouthful to chew on, I know, but thanks so much for any help you may be able to offer.

To print barcodes, you need a barcode font. It's as simple as that! As to the software and hardware for the wand, look in the classifieds at the back of PC magazine.

Thanks so much for your reply! I suspect that certain barcode types will function fine as a font, but if I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of types that adjust several aspects of themselves based on content, and therefore can't be created linearly as a 'typed word'.
This, however, is irrelevant, since I'll just pick a standard type of barcode that DOES work as a font, and go from there.
Thanks!

I have just purchase Wasp Bar Code Fontware for $95.00 and it works great.
