I do this with fonts and JavaScript on forms and with a little ColdFusion script and embedded fonts when generating PDFs. Generating it by image can be very hacky as typical image scaling logic can wreck the barcode.

The previous developer who worked on this project had used something from http://www.webcaterers.com/barcodes/default.cfm?NavBar=HOME but we discovered this had a bug (at least for code 39) where 7's would be misread as 2's. I have a plan B in mind, but it includes ASP.net. I've Googled for other solutions, such as Java, but some requires a special font which isn't ideal, since the web pages are open to the public. And I'm a bit wary of getting something with a bug again. :-) If you have done something with barcodes in CF that actually works, let me know. (Oh, and this is for Cold Fusion 8.) Thanks, Angeli Wahlstedt PS: I'm sorry, but I'm not looking for a programmer -- I'm just looking for a solution. :-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the "Houston ColdFusion Users' Group" discussion list.
