How to print Barcode 128B?

arcull

Hi guys. I know it has been said a lot about barcodes in this forum, but still I can not find the solution to my problem. I would like to print barcodes 128B for any input string. I got the algorithm, that calculates and adds start sign, control sign and end sign to an input string and it work ok, as far as you use it outside navision. I tried to use the code128 algorithm in MS Access and used a free barcode font to display the barcode and it works perfect. But if I use the same algoritm in navision, I get the same algoritm result(i checked every ascii output sign), but on the report, where I used the same barcode font, the barcode just isn't displayed correctly.Barcode contains some strange "little squares" and therefore the barcode is not readable by the scanner. I found out that navision can't print some characters, specialy those beyond 200. Normaly you don't need these characters in text, but they may be calculated as result of the code128 algorithm. Did anyone have similar problems? Thanx for help.

This is probably the ANSII ASCII problem!
And every font has it's own 'character'.
Search for the ANSII ASCII converter and try to print every 128B character in NAV before purchasing a font.

Thanx for answer mgm, I already tried ANSI ASCII conversion (found it on this forum) but the problem remains the same. I think that Navision is not capable of printing characters from 200 on, because the same font works ok in MS Access. Maybe the possible solution would be to find substitute characters for those greater than 200. Did anyone have such problems with barcode 128B and how you solved the problem. Thanx again for help.
