    Access intrinsic controls do not have this ability. You can change text orientation with Vertical property but not the control itself.

    If Vertical property doesn't give the desired result, I think will require:

    1. images of the bar code

    or

    2. some third party add-in controls

    Thank you again June7, in effect the vertical property doesn't returns the desired result, the codebar is not rotated but simply verticalized... (II instead of =)
    Please can you explain me how can I implement a third party add-in controls in my report?

    I've never used third party controls or even tried to program my own. No idea where to find or what is even available, either free or at a cost. What you want might not even exist and would have to pay a programmer to do something original. I am not able to find anything with a quick web search.

    Using images might be only practical option.
