John, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to discuss this issue. Yeah, Google has been my friend for many years. Even as I posted this question on CF-Talk, I had downloaded and evaluated a couple of off-the-shelf solutions for generating the BarCodes that I needed. I can even invoke one of them through CF.
But like I said, that is only half the battle. I need to be able to embed the generated code into an existing Word Doc, via CF. That's something I don't know how to do. All the googling, ends up with VB solutions. Even when I contacted tech-support for one of the software vendors, they responded with a VB solution. I'm not a VB guru, and don't know much about writing ActiveX objects, or using the OLEViewer to decipher all the hex codes and various and sundry variables that I would need to manipulate were I to use CF to access it. Oh well, this horse is pretty much dead. I'll walk away. If anyone's interested I can email them off-list if I come up with a CF interface that does what I need. Otherwise, thanks all, and good night, Ali -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2005 10:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Generating BarCodes in CF Ali, Do a search in google for pdf217 command-line and you'll get a bunch of results for software programs and stuff like that. Something should be out there for you.
