Is it possible to print out a bar code in report writer?

Hi Eric,
Yes and No... Graphic inclusions are very limited in the report writer...
but you might be ablel to use a specific font to print barcode. My
experience with that in the past let me suggest to create your reports
outside of GP if you want to use barcoding... (i.e. Crystal Report, Excel or
Access). You have much more flexibility. RW is a little bit outdated as a
reporting tool.
Hope this helps,
Beat

Eric,

Add the BarCode font to your library in C:\Windows\Fonts and use it in
report writer to print barcodes, you can download the barcode font from the
