You need to purchase a barcode font.

Here's Crystal's recommendation:

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...
