Barcodes

[KrystalKid]

I have created a report which uses a barcode. I have added a formula to format the barcode using the UFL for the barcode font. This report works fine. I uploaded the report to the Crystal Management Server and get an error in the formula of the page. I have checked the designer on the server and that report also works fine. Some where between lies a problem. Any thoughts??????????? Thanks

What error do you get - is it not recognizing the UFL? From memory, all the barcode UFL does is add a leading and trailing asterix (*) - this is required for any scanner or barcode reader to signify the start and end of the barcode field. You can do away with the UFL, and simply create a formula that adds an asterix to the start and end of your scanable field - that may fix your problem, assuming the problem is being caused by the UFL....

The error message is:

Error in File 4dc3123cf3f1a86.rpt: Error in formula 4dc3123cf3f1a86.rpt [On Page Server: COSCSWEBAPPS.pageserver]

We are using 128c and the formula add beginning and ending charactes plus check sums.

You may need to have the U2lcom.dll and barcode fonts installed in the right places on the server.
