Crystal Viewer and Barcodes

[sgoodman7]

Crystal 8.5.

I am running into difficulty accessing a report which has a barcode (and the corresponding barcode formulas on it) thru the Crystal Report viewer. I can run and access the report fine thru Crystal, but when I try to schedule it thru e-Portfolio, and then view it as a Crystal Report thru the viewer, I get a formula error. The report runs successfully thru ePortfolio – it just seems to error out on the viewer. I have the barcode software and fonts installed locally, and on the servers. I also tried it on BOEXI/Crystal 11, and it also errors out on the formula.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Here is the formula:

IDAutomationFontEncoderI2of5 ({@bc_barcode_exit_camera_elements}).

The function does exist in the Additional Functions list in the Crystal Formula editor and therefore parses fine and provides the correct barcode in Crystal Reports.

@bc_barcode_exit_camera_elements:

if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} < 10 then
"00000" + ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"") else
if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} < 100 and {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} >= 10 then
"0000" +ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"") else
if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} < 1000 and {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} >= 100 then
"000" + ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"") else
if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} < 10000 and {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} >= 1000 then
"00" + ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"") else
if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} < 100000 and {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} >= 10000 then
"0" + ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"") else
if {@bc_barcode_envelope_counter} >= 100000 then
ToText({@bc_barcode_envelope_counter},0,"")

@bc_barcode_envelope_counter:
