How to add a barcode to a form

Skolnick

I would like to add a bar code to a form. In this case it will be the Sales Order form.
The barcode will contain the Sales Order Number.

We want our warehouse employees to scan this bar code from the Sales Order form and have the result populate a field on a spreadsheet.

Can I place the SO number on the form, use a barcode font in Object Designer and have it print out at the employee's printer?

If so, suggestions on the correct bar code font to use?

Thank you!

What do you mean by Form?

Are you wanting the barcode to print on paper or Form like on the users screen?

Anyway - we use Barcode3of9 for most our our barcoding.
Great download here:

Infact if you search the download section for "barcode" you'll find multiple examples & downloads

Thank you for the info!

I want to print the barcode as opposed to seeing it on the screen.

Basically: install the fonts and in the report select the barcode font for the field you want to print the barcode for. (some barcodes might require small changes like adding * to the begining and end of the text to create the barcode for).

Barcode 3of9 Need Asterisks.

So the SourceExp of the field would look like:
'*' + "Sales Header"."No." + '*'

Font name would be (example) BC C39 3 to 1 Narrow
If using fonts - you have to install the font on any machine that you use to print.

The download options do it within Nav.
