I am using Access 2007, creating a report that needs to have the production number and serial number scanned. I loaded an ActiveX TalBarCd3. It worked great for the production number which is all numeric, using bcCode128 but will not work for the S/N which starts with a letter and has another letter in the fourth place of a 10 digit string. I have been through all the other font options on the ActiveX control and messed with the properties to no avail. Any help would be much appreciated.

What is your problem? Is it with the scanner? Or is it with getting it into the db? Is your field set to accept alphanumeric strings? -
Not the scanner, I have two bar codes when I print the report, but only the numeric will read on the scanner. I cannot find anything in the properties to set it to accept alphanumeric string. How do you set the field to accept alphanumeric?Comment

Gene,
I think I misunderstood your original post.... Are you producing the bar codes with an Access Report? And the all-numeric bar codes work, but not the alpha-numeric? I was thinking you were trying to scan bar codes into Access.
Sorry for the misunderstandin g.Comment
