I first use the barcode UFL of Azalea and use manual installation. As a result, I did not find the desired function in the crystal report function library that comes with vs.net for a long time. I suspect that the crystal Report of vs.net does not support UFL. Later I used idautomation and finally saw barcode. These two fonts are not included in Cr, and the correct demo font rate of idautomation is only 25%. It is no problem to use it to show examples, but you have to pay for it. Discuss with boss tomorrow.

Update 2004-6-28:
Because the fonts described above all require money, the demo fonts can only be set. Here we will introduce another method (but only barcode code39 can be used ).
1, download free 3 of 9 barcode fonts to http://www.squaregear.net/fonts. Here, only the code39 font is installed.
2. Add the formula field to the Crystal Report. The name is barcode. The formula "*" + {table. barcodefield} + "*" is actually adding "*" to the beginning and end of your barcode. This is what barcode39 requires. In fact, the UFL provided by idautomation does this.
3. Drag this field into the report and set its font to the one we just downloaded and installed.Free3of9.
4. Test it and check your results.
