Hi,

Would anyone know whether there is a totally VBA solution to convert a value
into a machine readable barcode, PC at work will not allow activeX, or
additional fonts to be installed, I do have some barcode fonts on my system
at home, if these were in the same folder as my excel file at work, is there
a way to tell my workbook to use them?

Any pointers to help greatly appriciated.

LaDDiE.

I haven't done anything with bar codes in years, but at the time, I needed to
have the bar code font loaded on the computer that was generating them.

What a shame, but I thought as much.

Thanks Barb,

Why not request that the fonts be loaded and you'll be set.
