Code 128 Specification Page
http://www.barcode-1.com/pub/russadam/128code.html One of Russ Adams many pages on barcodes. You can pay for barcodes or get them free, you choice. It's not rocket science. But no barcoding is included in Excel. You have to get a font and in most cases you will need a subroutine to create the correct digits since most have check digits. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "KKrainski" wrote in message ...

Create Barcodes in EXCEL 2003?
I thought excel text format TT 3 of 9 Barcode was barcode.
Maybe not 128 but barcode. It's in Access too. I use the font in access to print barcode labels. and it works. -----Original Mge----- Code 128 Specification Page http://www.barcode-1.com/pub/russadam/128code.html One of Russ Adams many pages on barcodes.

Create Barcodes in EXCEL 2003?
The easiest way to add a Code 128 bar code to an Excel spreadsheet
would be to use a bar code ActiveX control. Code 128 bar codes are much more complex than Code 39 bar codes therefore it is very difficult to use a bar code font to produce Code 128 bar codes. In addition bar code fonts produce very porr quality bar codes whereas a ActiveX control can produce a very high resolution image that will scan perfectly no matter what printer you print to. The best bar code ActiveX control on the market is the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control. You can download a demo from the following URL: http://www.taltech.com/products/activex_barcodes.html The demo version of the control comes with a sample Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates how to use it in Excel.
