[Koha] Problem with migrating barcodes

[Joy Nelson]

Clint, is the barcode field set as integer length of 6?  From your example it appears to drop the alpha characters and grab only the first 6 digits. 

Prefixing those barcodes before migration to Koha is easy enough. However the dropped remainder is odd. Is the barcode somehow spilt in access into multiple fields?
