You need a barcode font, there's no getting around that unless you want to encode and draw the barcode manually, which I strongly recommend against. So your first step is finding a font, whether it be free or not. You can't get any further until that's done.

Might I suggest this?

Hi deceptikon,thanks for ur reply,but i dont want ready made software

I'm not talking about ready made software. I'm talking about a font that you need to code your own freaking software. When you print anything textual you need to select a font, right? Well, a 1D barcode is textual data where the glyphs are encoded bars. So you need a barcode font to print barcode text.

Once you have a font it's dead easy to use the Printer object to do the actual printing:

' Set the printer...

' Print the barcode
Printer.FontName="your installed barcode font"
Printer.Print "*text to encode" & check_C & check_K & "*"
Printer.EndDoc

Assuming you have an installed barcode font and assuming the printer you select is the label printer, it's all scaffolding except calculating the C and K check characters.

I'm getting the impression that you lack the foundation in programming, VB6, and barcodes to even begin writing this program. You might want to do some reading, because if you don't understand even the most basic of things (like needing a barcode font), then you won't understand any help you receive in this thread.

i have seen inventory system with barcode manually coded and outputted as a jpeg file . this jpeg file can then be use to your report to be printed as a label. it was created by peejay in sourceforge.com
