You are correct. I was wrong. The variable length mfg numbers are being used for companies who don't need a full set of 99999 product codes. The price charged by UCC has been reduced from outrageous, to merely expensive ;-) There are even companies that will sell you a single bar code number! Bar code databases are also available for sale. Search on google for 'UPC database' Earl Wertheimer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.spe-edi.com .
