The problem with the free bar code fonts, such the one Chris Everett
mentions, is they are quite limited, so if you want to use Code 39 for
one application and 2 of 5 for another, you can't.

The software add-ons are really quite inexpensive (< $150) and vastly
more powerful, flexible, and easy to use (so far, we haven't had to mess
with the formatting issues Chris describes).

You still get what you pay for.

I installed a font such as the ones here: 
http://www.idautomation.com/fonts/free/ It's just a case of installing
the 
file as a standard Windows font which then appears in your drop down
list 
of fonts within the application. Do remember to read the licensing 
restrictions!

You need to be aware of specific formatting issues with some fonts, for
example a lot of readers require a star before and after the data. In
Access you may need to set the control source field of your data item as
something like ='*' & data & '*'  It's a case of experimenting a bit I'm
afraid.
