Razzak OK, I did a little test with RBARCODE.DLL just now to test what you sent me.
1. My RBASE.INI under the [PlugIn] section has the two lines you specify in your email: FDRAWDLL0=rbarcode.dll RDRAWDLL0=rbarcode.dll 2. At the R> prompt, I created a variable: SET VAR vTest TEXT = '1234567894543' 3. I created a form TEST based on the table BonusRate in the ConComp database. 4. On the form, I located the vTest variable first just as a straight field. 5. Below it, I located the vTest variable and did the following: a. Clicked on Custom; a drop down box appeared b. Clicked on the Drop Down box: RBARCODE was one of the choices and I selected it. c. Clicked on OK 6. Saved the form. 7. Typed: EDIT USING TEST The text field itself shows the variable value, but the bar code field is blank. WAIT - I figured it out myself and let it be a lesson to all doubters! I just made the field location for the bar code bigger and voila, I have a bar code!! Thanks Razzak!! David Blocker ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.
