barcodes

[kitty77]

Does anyone recommend or have any advice for barcodes?

I'm having an issue... I created a barcode on a report. =Trim("*" & [Name] & "*")
The value should read "Sunshine Fire Department"

When I scan it with my barcode scanner, it shows up as "SUNSHINEFIREDEPARTMENT"
All caps and no spaces... I contacted the barcode scanner manufacture and they said my data is that way, that makes no sense.

I'm simply using Barcode 39

its possible to setup the scan to do different things, like:
add a carriage return at end of scan, or a tab,

could it be you have it set to remove all spaces?
or the like?

I sent the barcode to the manufacturer and they said that the barcode created by Access was that way already.
Yes, I know you can set all kinds of things but this is strange...

You may get some insight from this youtube video by 599cd or this one.
