    There are bar code fonts available for download or puchase. Get the fonts, develop the report with the font, make sure the font is installed where the rdlc will be run.

    also note there are different types of bar codes, so you need to know which style you need:

    I've used this in the past with access but I guess it could work in VS.

    You mentioned specifically "Postnet" barcodes. There is something that you should no about barcodes.

    Many times the symbology (what type of code the barcode uses) does not matter. Modern scanners can and do read barcode hundreds of times per second. They can decode most types of barcodes and not even much notice that two different barcodes on the same package are of different types. Barcodes are things that I deal with every day.

    Well Postnet is meant to be read by the Post Office. There is a bunch of touchy folks for you. The have very exacting standards in regards to the barcode. It must be in exactly the correct format and size for their equipment to read it. They use older stuff and in order to save money the put out tougher standards rather than upgrading the hardware.

    The first sort is if the item has or does not have a barcode. Things without a barcode go down the main line to optical readers. Stuff with a useable barcode go down the express processing line. Stuff with a barcode that misreads is kicked off the line for (wait for it) manual processing.

    So if you get it right you can speed you packages down the system to be sure. Get it wrong and you can actually slow them to a crawl.

    Go online and look for the postal standards in your area. You may want to contact your postmaster.

    Yes you can print postnet barcodes using a font, but it must be a postnet barcode.
