[AccessD] Bar Codes

Depends on what you want them for.

If it is for in-house use (stock control etc) then  Code3of9 is by far the simplest to use - just 
surround your number or text with asterisks and print them using a Code3of9 font - there are 
a stack of freeware Code3of9 fonts available.  See 
http://www.idautomation.com/code39faq.html for details of this schema.

If you have to  use something more complex like UPC/EAN/POSTNET etc for a specific 
purpose,  you have to do a lot of work to convert text/numbers to bar codes.
