Displaying a text item (6 digit number) as a barcode

sharpeSep 19 2008 — edited Sep 20 2008
Hi. I'm interested if there is a was to display a 6-digit number on my form as a simple barcode in Forms6i? I want to query this 6 digit number to the form canvas and display it to the user as a barcode. Or perhaps it might be possible to pass the 6 digit number to Oracle Reports and have it display the barcode to the user? Or perhaps I could 'host' out of the form and use some Windows-based third party utility to pop-up the barcode on the screen for the user to see? Does anyone have a possible solution to offer?

I know in MS Word you can add fonts to it's selections. One of these fonts can be a simple barcode font which then displays the number as a barcode that can then be scanned.

Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
