The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

FoxPro can read and write bar code information with the help of a third- party library and/or font.

MORE INFORMATION

To print bar code information, either a bar code font is used or the bar code is printed as a graphic. If a font is used, the font must be capable of printing bar codes in the desired format, such as USPS bar code, Code39, or Interleaved 2-of-5.

FoxPro can also scan information into a database field directly from a bar code reader.

The following companies provide bar code products for use with FoxPro.
