Razzak and David, Thanks for the help. I was able to get the report to print a barcode. But I do not recognize the bar code format. Can you tell me what format this standard DLL is giving me ? It sort of looks like the type of bar code that the post office uses, with different heights for the bars. Unfortunately my experience with C++ programming goes back to one semester in college, Is there another DLL out there that can give me Code 128 that anyone would like to share.
