Printing Bar Codes in Access

Azalea Software’s barcode fonts can be used to create bar codes in your Microsoft Access projects. We have Access routines that create UPC barcodes, Code 128 barcodes, Interleaved 2 of 5 barcodes, POSTNET barcodes, Code 39 barcodes, and PDF417 2D bar codes.

Creating barcodes in Microsoft Access is an easy two-step process:

You cannot simply format a chunk of text in a bar code font and expect to create a scannable symbol; you need to encode the text appropriately. To make it easier for you, these Azalea products come with free sample code to help you integrate our fonts in your Access database. The sample code adds start and stop bars, calculates any necessary check digit(s), and maps the output into our fonts’ character set. This assures you that any bar code you create will be scannable without having to write the necessary code yourself.
