Bar codes are just fonts. In the past I have used a font to display Bar Codes generated in Crystal reports. A standard format for the code must be defined for item you are scanning, eg length and pre and postfix characters. For example a Medical Record Number (I work in health) might

What barcode standard is it, Taco? There are dozens of barcode standards, depending on what they're to be used for, and many of them only work if you have correctly calculated the check digit as the last character. I think barcode 3 of 9 is a simple font with no check digit, so if you use that
