Re: ** Barcodes using ReportWriter 2.0? **

     I have been working on doing this via Oracle Reports 2.0 on the Mac. The most flexible variation (and easiest, or so I thought) was to modify the sample program that came with the install. This was a module that would print the USPS bar codes at the bottom of mailing label. This required passing the zip-code to Oracle Graphics and it would draw the bar-code and sent the graphic back to reports. After modifying this to draw 3-of-9 bar code, I realized it wasn't clearing out the "old" graphic each time, and thus getting bar codes on top of bar codes. Going back to the original program, I noticed it had the same bug!! This one of their samples on the install and it doesn't WORK!!!

     I at least have the option of now using a 3-of-9 font. But the tar is still open with ORACLE on this one.
