Re: Bar code printing
If you are writing the report only for ONE printer - cape sequnces are the best solution. For different target printers or for printer independent barcode printing - our PrintServer software my be the right choose. Once installed on an NT 4.0 system you can design forms and print only raw data to PrintServer. Raw data is inserted into the designed forms and printout takes place an a target printer - with barcodes - even if this printer has no built-in barcode functionality. Regards G.
