I have to do quite a lot with barcodes here including things like calculating checksums for our own barcodes. UPC/EAN barcodes are ONLY useful for 12-13 digit barcodes of the type you stick on products. Your best bet for other information is 3 of 9 which allows numbers and letters in any format you like. To encode test1234 all you need to do is stick an asterisk at each end and use the correct font for *test1234*. Check out http://www.free-barcode-font.com/ Lastly, if you are printing these out (and why else would you want them) you may have to play about with your font size to get one the right size for your scanner. If you need any more help, let me know. -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252334 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
