Steve,

How about putting an opaque shape over the top if the field?

>I have a bar code on my report that is set to 72 points in size and it prints that size. But what I want to do is use the 72 points size bard code but make it so it prints in an area that is only about 1/4 of an inch tall. Then the bar code will be readable but not so tall.
