	Greetings everyone, I had a newbie question about adding Barcode fonts to my report. My boss wants me to add Code39 and from what i've been able to tell I need a third party application to do this? Am I correct in this assumption? I'm using Crystal Report 11 if that helps and I apologize if this is a newbie question.

	Not necessarily. 1: get the file for the font (.TTF extension) 2: in windows explorer, go to windows\Font in the root drive (probably C:) 3: Move the file to that folder. You should get a pop-up saying it's installing new font 4: restart CR and it should now appear in the list of fonts to choose from Edited by Keikoku - 08 Dec 2010 at 5:40am

	Hi Penguin You've probably figured this one out too, but... You need to have a '' at the beginning and end of your field for it to be recognised by a bar code reader. e.g. {yourfield} should have an asterisk concatenated at either end to make it a readable bar code '' & {yourfield} & '*'
