Hi,

I need to print barcodes in a report onto an A4 sheet. Since I have never
done barcodes from VO, I would like some opinions, guidance:

Can I do it using something like ReportPro or ReportManager?

What else do I need?

TIA,

Tom

Hi Tom,

You dont need anything other than a barcode font installed on the PC.

I use 3 of 9 or Code 39

http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/

Just apply this font as you would any other in your report template.

Oh - your barcode needs to start with a * and end with a * character ie
*12345*.

Hi Tom,

There are several ways to do this. We use the barcode library from Wasp
(www.waspbarcode.com). They have either an ActiveX or DLL. We've built a
small library based on the DLL.

You can also use barcode fonts.

I have also manually drawn barcodes myself, but obviously this takes much
more work and I don't recommend it.

HTH,

Greg
