Im trying to create a simple barcoded piece of information that would be a value then a tab and another value.

Trying to use the MRV Code 39 Extended but no luck. 

Can anyone offer some suggestions?

thanks in advanced.

In Fontpal, enter \009 in the place of TAB, and you get this character encoded into the barcode - it translates into É (the European character, only available in Latin-1 set).

The mapping is documented at http://www.morovia.com/font/code39ext.asp#Special%20Character%20Mapping 

The Tab is listed as HT (Horizontal Tab)

Note: whether you will get the same effect as TAB key on the keyboard depends on the scanner. You might want to review this thread about achieving the effect of a function key on the keyboard
