Well It did not work out too well.

I had asked about printing large bar codes and you said I do not need to buy any commercial bar code font library. I downloaded the ones you mentioned and even some more from another site.

The VFP report writer prints them fine, and the PDF includes the font and the end user can easily print the page.

HOWEVER when it go through the scanner, the scanner doers not see those as bar codes.

This is a replacement for another program that prints the forms, but it no longer has the right data source.

Those printed bar codes work with no problem.


Should I just keep trying different versions of the font, or do I need to go down another path?


SORRY to be so much trouble. I always seem to go to you with the strange questions and frequently it turns out to be PUE, but at least it is not BDU



PUE Probable User Error
BDU Brain Dead User



I do hope you agree it is not BDU.
