Dal,
I had to change my columns per line and then the barcode showed on the form. However, the rest of the them did not show. Do I need to change the lpp to show the rest of the barcodes throughout the page?
Where/how do I change that? I've tried changing this in several places and I can't get it.

Thank you so much for all your help! I think I am almost there. :-)

You never said you had more than one barcode on a page....

So, how many barcodes do you have on each data page?

If I modified my function so you passed in a number to identify which barcode you wanted, would that work ok for you?

It might help If I could see your design as there may be a better approach using a line repeat with the &Current.Line system variable...

Dal,
There are 135 columns and 84 lines of data and anywhere within that could be the <12345678>. They are mostly found on the right side of the page. But there are several per page. Think of it like an order book. Our customer is going to flip thru this and read off the description and then scan the matching barcode into order machine.
I do not have a drop box. Is there another way I could get this to you?

That's what I was starting to suspect. OK, send your file over and I'll take a quick peek at it.

Thank you so much Darren! This has truly moved me along. Now, one more thing, I just found out this particular customer needs the barcode to be a UPC-A type to be able to read it. How do we change the type of barcode? I looked at some other older stuff I’ve got and to do this I think we’ll have to add ‘4’ leading zero’s to the original 8 digit item code.

OK you will need to do a couple of things on the barcode object then. First up go into barcode options and set the barcode type to UPC-A.

Next you will need to pad your 8 digit number as it needs to be 11 digits long (a 12th digit will be automatically calculated as a checksum). So, we just need to add 3 leading zeroes to the front of our data selection. In your case, go to the 'Data' setting, tick the box labelled 'Custom Data selection' and shove this in the box:


That ought to work

Dal,
Now the last six lines of data are not showing on the form. Any ideas?
