Did you ever figure this out? Have any code? I want to try and put a control with a couple of labels and a checkbox and Ihaven't found any examples of how to do it. Thanks

Actually, that code was written in 2003. You can't just copy, paste, and pray it works. You have to fully understand what's going on in that code. Custom controls are handled by the DataGrid no differently than the standard controls, provided the custom controls are written exposing the correct interfaces. THe code on those links won't work with 2005 because the DataGrid was replaced with the DataGridView control, which doesn't work the same way the old DataGrid does.

with laser printer u need to print in high resolution at least 300dpi. print it and test, it will work fine

thanks for this Prompt & kind support Hema Chaudhry

Thank you very much I will apply your approach & then get back to u Thanks again for this help Hema Chaudhry

Barcode is a font that disguises a number I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

In the program i am writing i use the software you can find at this sight http://www.idautomation.com/formscontrols/ They work well. Gives you more options then some. And suports alot of different formats. Also, there is a standard for barcodes that you should folow if you are writing this for a bussiness. Here is a sumary of how it works and the address where you can look at the info for yourself. Please keep in mind that this is a report i sent to my boss regaurding our product so you may have to ignore some of what im saying in it that is specific to us. Also i copy and pasted most of this from the howstuffworks sight.

Add together the value of all of the digits in odd positions (digits 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11). 6 + 9 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 32 2.) Multiply that number by 3. 32 * 3 = 96 3.) Add together the value of all of the digits in even positions (digits 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10). 3 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 3 = 11 4.) Add this sum to the value in step 2. 96 + 11 = 107 5.) Take the number in Step 4. To create the check digit, determine the number that, when added to the number in step 4, is a multiple of 10. 107 + 3 = 110 6.) The check digit is therefore 3. Each time the scanner scans an item, it performs this calculation. If the check digit it calculates is different from the check digit it reads, the s
