Barcodes

[swarner@propetusa]

Is there a way to print reports with barcode numbers , ?

Yes, you need to use a BarCode font for the text box and you need to use the RIGHT barcode font - so you would need to know which barcode you need.

I've used "code39" or "bc39" font for barcodes it's a prety simple number only font and to do the checksum you just need to put at * at the begining and end. I use a text box with
="*" & [Serial] & "*"
to get the desired effect

And, as long as that is the barcode you need, that will work. Not all barcodes are the same so they can't all use the same font. So it is key to know what you need before just accepting that you can use one.
