Crystal Barcode Printing

[ihatemash]

I have user requests to add the ability to print shelf labels for their stores. The labels must contain the product name, price, and barcode. How do I get Crystal Reports to print bar codes?

I had such good intentions to put as many references to M*A*S*H in this response as I could think of, but its late and they all seemed dumb, so I'll just give you my answer to your problem:

We use an OLE field in our Access database to store each of our clients logos, and have CR call that db field to display the logo on their sales receipts. So what you could do is store the bar-code as a gif or bitmap in the same way, and then just call it up. Only thing is: I'm guessing that they have more than 20 bar codes, so entering all those into a db might be a challange, but thats the only way I could see to do it.

Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen (hey, I DID get a mash ref in!)
