    Posted: 22 Sep 2012 at 2:00am
Hi

I have a CSV file of barcodes that I scan with my phone and then send the file to my pc.

I then need to link this file to the master barcode file in our epos system.

The issue is that when I set up the CSV link, CR2011 decides the barcode field is a numerical one, in my CSV file, and our epos barcode field is text, so I cannot link the two fields.

Is there a way to force CR2011 to recognise the CSV field as text and not a number?

Thanks

You may have a reference here about <a href="http://www.terrek.com/products/crystal_report_barcode/">generating barcode as text in Crystal Report</a>. You need to convert your barcode in CSV file as text.

Thanks for the reply.

The problem is not generating barcode, it is that I have a text file in CSV format that I need to link CR2011 to.

When I do CR2011 automatically makes the barcode field a number and I need it to be text.

Is there a way to tell CR2011 to interpret this field as text and not a number?

Thanks
