>is there a way to print horizontal and vertical barcode on one lable. I think I need an external program or activex to convert barcode to graphic, turn the graphic by 90 degrees and place it in my report. or is there a simple way ??

Yes, I suppose the simple way to print barcode in vertical direction is to make a graphic. I can offer you our FoxPictureBox ActiveX control that will give you possibility to write a text in desired direction (in yor case by 90 degree) using any font (you will use Barcode font) and to save the image in a file or copy it into the clipboard.
