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

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} & '*'
