Barcode in Crystal Report

[konglo]

How can I make the barcode object inserted in Crystal Report work properly?

I tried to insert a barcode control as OLE object but I do not know how to access it and assign a value to the barcode. I also tried to create a simple ActiveX control which contain a barcode control and insert it to Crystal Report as OLE object too. However, I cannot assign any value to the control.

Please help me. Thanks a lot.

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but this is how I barcode tracking numbers from our POS retail system.

I create a text field within the report that has asterisks at start and end

EG - '*{dbo.table.trackingnumberfieldname}*'

I format the text box with the CodeSixNineText FONT. This gives us a scannable barcode on the report that the staff can use to recall the transaction to their POS screens.

In order for this to work all machines that run the reports have to have the CodeSixNineText FONT installed locally.

Hope this helps...

You will also need to contact azalea.com for the barcode font(s) supported by CR
