I have been researching this lately. I was able to do the entire bar code project in VFP 6 without a hitch after adding in the Elfring bar code fonts. When it came time to add some features not present in the VFP report writer, I switched the whole thing over to a label product named LabelView. It works with all of the major bar code printers, so you can use the right printer for each job. It also works as a client or server and with ODBC. The only problem I had with it was trying to install it on a Win98 PC with Office 2000.

Hope this helps...
