To create 1D barcodes for Crystal Reports, follow the below steps:
- Create a new formula in the Crystal Report.
- In the main formula area, enter: ‘*’ & ToText("123456789") & ‘*’ replacing "123456789" with your own text or field.
- Click Save and Close.
- Add the new formula to the Crystal Report.
- Change the font to 'Free 3 of 9 Extended'.
- Adjust the font-size to make the barcode larger. A good value to start with is '32'.
- Preview the report (F5), and verify the field/formula is large enough to display the full barcode.

Hi
I have followed the steps above and the barcode doesn't seem to generate.
My formula is
'*' & ToText({?Order},"00000")
However its just the order number that is displaying not a bar code, the font is also as mentioned above.
Thanks
Kris

Hi Kris,
I ran this by one of our Solutions experts that works in Crystal and they suggested opening a ticket with Client Care. They said it sounded like the font was not installed correctly.
Thanks,
Mike
