The main thing you need is a barcode font, you can pay for a
package or you get free barcode fonts that will probably work for you. The specifications for barcodes determine their design not someone simply selling a barcode font. You will also need some coding for many barcode systems, but again there are specifications. So the there is nothing really special in barcodes themselves. http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...rg.htm#barcode 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 "Draak" wrote...

You can use bar code fonts in Excel however they generally produce
very poor quality bar codes and they also require you to add start/stop characters and also calculate a check digit for each message that you want to encode. If you want to produce exceptional quality, device independent, bar codes where you do not need to calculate or add anything to the data being encoded, then the best approach would be to use a bar code ActiveX control that is not based on a font. The best one on the market is from TAL Technologies. You can download a demo version of it from the following web page: http://www.taltech.com/products/activex_barcodes.html The demo version of the TAL Bar Code ActiveX control comes with a sample Excel spreadsheet that demonstrates how to use it in Excel.
