printing barcode in crystal11

[MISTIDOG]

hi
i try to print barcode in crystal report
and i am always getting extra tab in the barcode like square
or dots in the middle of the barcode
the field is string like "4004001CLN70733"
the code is BarcodeC128A({OOLINE.OBITNO})
thanx

Seem to remember that i had to convert the barcode string, via a formula to include an @ sign at the beginning and at the end. Control characters to designate the start and the stopping points.

Changed to code 128 via a free downloaded font.

Don't know if this helps, been a while...

Did you upgrade the report? Most upgrades are smooth, but it's the prime suspect for an otherwise inexplicable problem.

Try starting fresh on Crystal 11, and see if something that should be just the same will actually work OK.

you will need a formula like this:

'*'+{your field Name}+'*' and if your field is a numeric one, you will have to do a convertion and the formula will look like this:

'*'+totext({your field Name}, 0,"") +'*'

One difference between Crystal 8 and Crystal 11 is that Crystal 11 uses UNICODE...
