>you can use a keyboard scanner which is the same as someone typing on the keyboard. if you install code39 font, you can use it on a report form or a label and a barcode will be printed. Just make sure you enclose the data with an asterick. for example, if the barcode number is 90939, then the text box would have *90939*, and the font would be code39. you will probably need to increase the font size to 20 or higher. good luck.

What font vendor do you use?
