I posted a BETA version of the next release of the Mind's Eye Report Engine. It has a lot of little fixes for VFP FRX Reports as well as some new features as well. Most notably, the Report Engine will now save Barcodes to a PDF Document WITHOUT using any Barcode fonts whatsoever and Charts now support having multiple series of data points in a single Chart. The Barcodes are actually painted into the PDF document using polygons. The Report Engine already supported Barcodes in Report Preview and Printing without using any Barcode fonts.

In order to have a Barcode painted using a VFP Report Field you can simply add BARCODE:x to the COMMENT field of a Report Expression. The Report Engine will interpret that as if you wanted a Barcode in place of the text. There is support for 22 different barcode formats and they are documented in the Help File. One of the other things of interest is that the Report Engine will paint the Barcode to the height of the Report Expression Field on the report. Normally, if you were to use a Report Expression and wanted it to be a tall barcode using a Font, you would have to stack multiple Report Expressions on top of each other to increase the height of the barcode. So you can stretch the height as tall as you wish. However, you should be aware that the PostNet barcode should only be drawn to a certain height.

To view an example of a PDF Document generated with Barcodes in it as well as a Chart showing multiple Series in a single chart you can visit the website at:

The PDF Document sample is here: http://www.mindseyeinc.com/ReportEngine/BarCodesAndChartSample.PDF

Here is the code that generated the PDF Document. It was done just programmatically manipulating the control without an FRX. oReportEngine is the Mind's Eye Report Engine ActiveX control that is hosted on a VFP Form in the MindsEyeReportPreviewForm Form Class.

I'm just trying to make things as simple as possible. <g>
