TRYING TO PRINT BAR CODES IN VISUAL DBASE 5.7 USING CRYSTAL REPORTS VERSION 3. CRYSTAL REPORTS VERSION 3 DOES NOT SUPPORT BAR CODES BUT, VERSION 11 OF CRYSTAL REPORTS DOES. HOW TO I GET VERSION 11 (CRYSTAL REPORTS) TO WORK IN VISUAL DBASE 2.5?

THANK YOU,

TOM

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

Just install a barcode font and choose that in your report.

I incorporated bar codes into my vdB5.7 app using Crystal 3 by utilizing the 3of9 bar code font, set to a font size of 36 for this particular field. I found this size to be the most scanner friendly. When I generated the alpha numeric string for this ba
r code field, I programatically began and ended the string with and asterisk *. Example: *12345-ABC*
It is still in use today with wedge-style scanners.

i actually print barcodes every day with vdb5.7 and crw3.

all you need is a barcodes font to install from windows as any other font (big sh_ is for most you have to pay lots).
remember barcode needs to begin and finish with asteriscs formula is: "*"+str(nums)+chars+"*"
