Well, in addition to the original problem - I now have a new twist. On the same label, I have been instructed to change one of the barcodes from a code 128(which is what I was using in the Barcodes I referred to below) - to instead print as a UpcA code.
I found the Font for the UpcA barcode in the IDAutomation folder we have here, and I dumped it into my Fonts folder. Also, within the BarFonts.prg I found the UpcA procedure. So, as with the code 128, I would call the UpcA procedure and pass in the value I wanted to print (a UPC#) - and I also sent the Font of that field to the UpcA barcode. However, it was actually printing kind of garbage - with big gaps between some of the bars. So, instead of calling the UpcA procedure, I simply set the field on the label to that UpcA barcode font. So, now a barcode DOES print. But - it won't scan! Thanks in advance for any help someone can lend... -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt Wendt Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 2:56 PM Subject: VFP7, BarCodes & IDAutomation... Hey folks, We have these box labels I have worked on (under VFP7) and have BarCodes (using IDAutomation) on them. The problem is that one of the bar codes needs to print out a Quantity - and, if the Qty is actually a Single digit - its seems that the BarCode is automatically padding the # with a Zero in the front - making it a 2 digit #. This seems to only happen (and I have seen it in the past) with doing BarCodes on a number of Odd digit count. Numbers with an Even Digit count don't have a problem. And, the company that receives the boxes - they are complaining about the extra Zero digit at the beginning - and are demanding that I remove it. So - any help or pointers would be Greatly appreciated!
