This tutorial explains how to create barcode reports in Microsoft Access 2010 using 2D Barcode Fonts. As an example, Data Matrix is used. All 2D Barcode Fonts require its data to be encoded before the barcode font is applied. For Microsoft Access, IDAutomation 2D Font Packages include barcode fonts, VBA code, and a DLL. A combination of the three will produce a scannable barcode.

As of August 2015, the Data Matrix font name has been changed from IDAutomationDMatrix to IDAutomation2D.
