You "generate" a barcode by setting the font of a textbox in your form or report to a Barcode font (there's several free barcode fonts available on the internet, if your needs are simple).

How you scan depends on what type of barcode scanner you use. I'm familair with the keyboard wedge type scanner (this type of scanner goes inline with the keyboard; the progarm basically accepts input from the scanner just as if someone had typed it in with the keyboard). There are also USB and com port scanners, but I'm not familiar with them.

Hi,
See this link for an earlier discussion of BarCodes.
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21417893/String-to-Barcode.html
If you can use bar code fonts, (which I now find that I can in my project) then
http://grandzebu.net/informatique/codbar-en/codbar.htm is a good resource.
