Bar Codes

[LFP]

Based on what numbers are entered in a field in the top part of my form I
need to convert that number to a read only field at the bottom of the form as
a bar code. Can anyone explain how to do this?

I have a form which generates a barcode.

I am not sure how it does it exactly, I would have to look at it as someone
else developed it.

You can email me and I could show it to you.

Hello,

You could probably do this as a web service fairly simply. If you had the
web service as a secondary data-source you could do a submit with the number
at the top of the form and populate the barcode at the bottom via the web
service.

Assuming you have a web service to do this of course There's one at the
CodeProject here:

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/wsbarcode.aspx

that might do the job for you - generates code39 barcodes.

We eventually found our own solution to this by using conditions, rules and
fonts.

Hi,

Would you be able to post a quick summary of your solution "for posterity"?
Like which Font did you use? And what rules and conditions were implemented?

Thanks.

Gavin.
