Razzak:
I missed the right click and type select for the Maxi code or the
PDF417 after selecting the 2D barcode from the menu.
Still, are there any plans for the Data Matrix or QR code?
Thanks
Steve

I was looking at the help files in Rbase 9.5 and it appears that
Rbase provides both the
standard line bar code most of us have known for years, but also
the PDF417 2D bar code,
better known as the Stacked Bar Code developed by Symbol
Technologies and can hold
significant data. In your link below, the link displays the Maxi
Code apparently developed
by UPS, which is considered a matrix bar code and appears to be
primarily used in the
logistics industry, but has limited data capability. But I don't
see this as an option in
RBase 9.5. Possibly it is a plug-in?
However, it appears that the QR code, which is also a matrix code,
is still the most
versatile of the codes because of its ability to store the most
information allowing
for text descriptions. Does the dream team have any plans to
include the QR code or
the Data Matrix code as an option for reports and labels? Imagine
the possibilities
with the two codes that can hold so much data.
Steve,
What you see in my earlier example is the 2D Barcode using the
Barcode type as Maxicode.

However, R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64) 2D Barcode Control can also be
configured as PDF417.
Here's how ...
Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 | Report or Label Designer| Database
Controls | 2D Barcode
Right-Click on 2D Barcode Control, select "Barcode Type", and choose PDF417
That's all there is to it!
Take a look at the example of 2D Barcode using the Barcode Type as PDF417
http://www.razzak.com/sampleapplications/ShippingLabel_2D_Barcode_PDF417.pdf
While designing R:BASE eXtreme 9.5, R:BASE Dream Team did look at
everything, including
the provision of 2D Barcode with an option to configure as Maxicode or PDF417.
Now make sure to leverage the well-engineered & full-featured R:BASE
eXtreme 9.5 (32/64)
that includes all built-in tools and capabilities.
For complete details and available options for 2D Barcode,
right-click on 2D Barcode
Control and then click on Context Sensitive Help Button [Help].
Have fun!
Very Best R:egards,
