    • James Falk: I had to do Bar Code Fonts at a client site once as well. I found the Company Azalea had a big presence. One of the elements involved was finding and registering certain DLL's. With this information embedded within your environment, you'd be able to see Code 39 & Code 128 choices within your formula Functions.

Please note: That in order for these fonts to work, they have to be installed upon the local workstation, as I found great difficulty with utilizing them through a Remote or Citrix environment.
