Unlike eg Code 39, it is not a straight character-for-character substitution, so just applying a font with static bracketing values doesn't work. It needs a calculated checksum (which is not shown in the human-readable version nor transmitted to the receiving system, but ensures the quality of the data read by the scanner), which is why you need to apply a function to the data you want to encode. And I do not think the control characters are universal - I have seen different font sets that have made different choices with regard to the extended characters they use to represent the control values. Presumably the ones you specify will work for your environment.Mon, 08 Apr 2013 04:20:25 GMTEwan Hampsonhttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1065554-149-1.aspxSorry, can you tell me what is the purpose of [url=http://www.barcodelib.com/net_barcode/main.html]generating[/url] such a [url=http://www.barcodelib.com/net_reporting_services/main.html]Code 128 barcode[/url]? I have no idea what you are trying to achieve. By the way, I know a website that has many conversion tools for class code.

Apparently no function that fixes this has been posted before in the forum.The way the barcode functions work is always the same: you pass a string with the source code ('bananas') and you get the coded barcode string ( ÑbananasÈÓ, always starts with capital Ñ and ends with Ó).I have the right function in Access VBA (code attached), but I'm not able to translate this into SQL Server. Does anyone have the equivalent SQL Server function (or knows how to translate this) ?Thanks in advance, a.Thu, 17 Feb 2011 04:47:30 GMTa_ud
