Vertical Text Box in MS-Access for Barcode Fonts


MS-Access allows you to specify a text box as either horizontal or vertical, and the Code-39 font works fine when in the horizontal mode, however, it fails in the vertical mode. Is there a comparable code that will work in the vertical mode?

Best Answer

The vertical text box seems to default to certain fonts. Even fonts such as Stencil, do not properly display vertically as another system font is chosen. Microsoft Access does not internally support rotated text in forms or reports. There are 2 methods to rotate a barcode in Access on a report:

1.
Use the IDAutomation Access Barcode Generator. It allows orientations of 0, 90, and 270 degrees within a label.

2.
Edit the registry (Information from the Microsoft Learn Site)

To work around this problem for barcode fonts, add the following registry entry, and then set the DWORD value to 1.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftCTFDisable Thread Input Manager

To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftCTF
Right-click CTF, point to New, and then click DWORD Value to create the following entry:
Disable Thread Input Manager
If you are running an x64-based version of Windows, click DWORD (32-bit) Value to create the entry.
Double-click Disable Thread Input Manager, type 1, and then click OK.
Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
