Sarah, The easiest way to generate a barcode using a font in Code 39 is to: 1) Make sure you have the prefix and postfix characters appended. For Code 39 that's an asterisk. Your reader will eat this character, so it won't display when you scan it. 2) Figure out if your reader is requiring a

Re: Bar code generation & readin

I clearly was drinking too much this AM. You can do this one of two ways: 1) Use a BC font, or 2) Build the barcode graphically from scratch. The advantage of 2 is that you are not reliant on the character substitution that every font performs, so the solution is more portable.

Isn't the problem the "open file" statement? You would use "write to file" subsequent to that. As far as I know, the "put into URL" approach doesn't need an open file to precede it, and may even be blocked (because the file is already open for writing?) - Bill "Sarah Reichelt" <[EMAIL PROTECT
