REPOST: Re: Bar Codes in reports ... how ???

Waldi,

You can do this with a TrueType font; Code 39 is the easiest to work with because it does not require calculation of a checksum. All you have to do is place a text field on the report, use the barcode font, and add an asterisk at the beginning and end of the data. The asterisks translate to the start/stop code, without which the scanner will be unhappy.

Just concatenate a string like "*"+[MyDataField]+"*"

Here is a link to info about some fonts: http://www.makebarcode.com/software/fonts.html#BBTTC39
