Philippe F. OL Expert Registered: 09/06/00 Posts: 1984 Loc: Objectif Lune, Montreal, Qc	In the Data tab, select Advanced Mode. Right click in the first field and select Data Selection to select whatever data you want to put in the barcode (multiple lines are OK). Then click back into the first field and immediately after the initial = sign, insert 'AC'+. _________________________ Technical Product Manager I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying - Woody Allen
