...I use idautomation's free 39 barcode font to print badges and labels for 
one client ...that site has a ton of free information a lot of which is 
worth reading ...but the long and short of it is unless your client is doing 
something special or sophisticated, the 39 freebie font and very little code 
will almost certainly do what she needs ...I've used it in both Access 
reports and Word without any problem for several years now.
