Hi Ian,

ReportBuilder natively supports 10 one-dimentional barcode types. Which
type of barcodes are you looking to generate?

Hi Ian,

Below is an article we have on the EAN-128 barcode. I am not sure if other
customers have successfully used PSoft with RB 9. Perhaps one of them will
chime in with their advise.

Tech Tip: UCC/EAN 128 Barcode Generation
--------------------------------------------------------

ReportBuilder's support for the Code 128 barcode symbology can be used to
print UCC\EAN 128 barcodes.
Code 128 is general purpose symbology that can be used to generate UCC/EAN
128 barcodes.

1. Here is a link that came up when I searched in Google. It is for another
barcode product, but it explains the symbology.

2. The TppBarCode component contains an AutoEncode property that defaults to
True. To support UCC/EAN 128 you will need set AutoEncode to False and
manually encode the data. See the AutoEncode topic in the RBuilder.hlp. From
there you can access a related topic on manually encoding Code 128 data.
