> > What is the objective? Yes I will create it and many users will fill it in on their local machines. They will then e-mail the spreadsheet which will have the data sucked out and inserted in the DB. The user will also print the spreadsheet and fax it in via a web-based fax service (for proof of signatures). The TIFF in the fax will be OCR'd and matched with the data that was sent via the XLS file. This allows for a digital copy of the signed form to be stored with the data that was in that form....paperless system ;-) I know I can use barcode fonts, but can they be embedded in the Excel file? I'm quite sure most users will not have those fonts on their system ;-) > > Why barcodes? more accurate than OCRing text Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
