Re: Barcodes in Reports2.5

The book "Learning Oracle Reports 2.5 A Tutorial for Report Designers" by Stephen Edelstein talks about using barcodes, which Reports 2.5 supports, as well as many other Reports 2.5 concepts. This is a very good tutorial and I recommend you purchase it. Take a look at a sample of this book at www.rbsbooks.com.
