All,

Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas and insights about Bar Coding
and Scanners.

I now have an Access Report with Bar Codes (downloaded a font from the
Internet).

I really appreciate the assistance.

Brad

I'd recommend 3 of 9 coding.  Google "frree 3of9".   There are quite a
few fonts out there.  

Pick one that you like and download and instal it.   The rules for 3of9
are very simple, you just 
use an asterisk as a stop and stsart character. So to put JobNum  on a
report, set a textbox 
to ="*" & Jobnum & "*"  set it's font to 3of9
