Hi!

Well, using the same principle and a bit of coding, you can do somethign similar in VFP report:

- Put large number of lines horizontally in report to cover by them an entire area and specify line width to some specific width
- using "Print When..." option, you can command what lines are displayed and what are not. Make an array for that with number of logical-type elements that match to number of lines.
- Before runnin report, or in the function called from report, prepare an array that clearly represents what lines should be displayed and what are not based on the code.

I know this is a bit complex stuff...

HTH.

I used a WP-linedraw font that had a black square as one of the characters (the '$' character), then created a memo field containing a series of $$$$'s on the line that needs the bar and a carriage return where it needs a blank bar. Then I selected a 4 point font size and added it to a report. When it prints out it, the bar code is landscape along the right edge while the rest of the text is portrait. If anyone wants the code, I'd be happy to post it here.
