Extended 3 of 9 Barcode font - MS Access code return and tab characters
I have downloaded the Free 3 of 9 Barcode Font Extended. I am trying to embed tabs into my strings. However, the $I just prints as part of the string, no tab occurs.

It needs to be one string using Extended 3 of 9 font. I have read that the control characters can be embedded, $I = tab; $M = Enter, but the control characters simply print, no tabbing or carriage return. *ABC$Iabc* (in 3 of 9 ) = ABC$Iabc (scan value).
It's your scanner. Most need to be configured to read extended 3 of 9. If it's not, you'll get what your getting.

I scanned the Symbol code for enable code39 Full ASCII. I am able to read lower case, symbols, but I cannot seem to get it to read the $M, $I as LF and HT. It reads literally - in my barcode, it scans as $M and $I

Instead of letters and non-visible characters, try:

Thanks for all the suggestions!! I will give it another whirl tomorrow. I am getting the lower case letters, the forward and backward slash, just not the CR or HT. I didn't think about checking the drivers. I am using an old symbol scanner, scanned the Enable Full ASCII barcode from manual, at least my lower case letters are proper now.

%K%J%M = %K%J%M

I'd use Chr(9) to concatenate a tab into a string.
=MyFirstString.Value & Chr(9) & MySecondstring.Value
