Joey,
There was an old post in the previous Forum which I saved, but I can't find a link to it.
Trinity has solid expertise in adding code to an app which will make bar codes. Contact me if you need their contact info but they are at trinityis.com
If you want a free solution here are my notes
TIs there a way to automtically generate a code 128 barcode for a text field
How do I have a serial # barcode print on a form or report.
I create Work Orders in quickbase and then print them as an exact form. What I would like is to have The work order # appear as a barcode so that when the service tech returns with the work order we can scan the barcode and bring up the work order for completion by scanning the barcode on the form. (Printed Work Order)
I have searched the forum and have found nothing even close. Can someone please help.
Thank you
Wayne

You can write a formula to such a bar code image generating service:

http://www.morovia.com/free-online-ba..." &
"?Symbology=5" &
"&BarHeight=1000" &
"&ShowHRText=1" &
"&NarrowBarWidth=20" &
"&Message=" & [InvoiceNumber] &
"&Rotation=0"
Unfortunately Morovia might not like you doing this. Google Charts has a QR barcode generation but no linear barcode. So you can use a PHP library:

Thanks Dan- Is there any way to automatically integrate this into a quickbase field- It kind of defeats the purchase if I have to type the Work Order # in the online program and then paste it back into quickbase.
Hope you can help - by the way the last solution you gave me worked like a charm.
Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne.
Very easy to do with an exact form. I've done it numerous times.
What you want to do is install a free barcode font or purchase a 128 font. I recommend idautomation.com. The only kick is you would need to install that font on the pc's that print the exact form.
Then in your exact form assign the barcode font to the field you want to be barcoded. Then make sure the field looks something like this. *~Barcodefield~*
The asterisks start/stop the scan.
change "barcodefield" to the name of the numeric field you would like converted.

Building on Dan's code which was this below, I created a Formula-URL field called [Bar Code] (note that I deliberated put a space on the h ttp to cause this forum to display the full link)
"h ttp://w ww.morovia.com/free-online-barcode-generator/barcode.asp" &
"?Symbology=5" &
"&BarHeight=1000" &
"&ShowHRText=1" &
"&NarrowBarWidth=20" &
"&Message=" & [Record ID#] &
"&Rotation=0"
Then I created a new Formula Text Field with HTML enabled called [Show Bar Code]
"
 & )
"
and the result on a List All report was to list the Bar Code representation of my [Record ID#]'s on the report on the screen.
I did it in two steps because I was getting tripped up by escaping the quotes.
You could probably do it this way while you explore if there is a more robust solution, as Dan says that maybe Morovia would not appreciate all the hits.

This is a very easy adaptation, took Marks code and made a simple modification.
Made a Formula url, called Barcode, then added the data from the form "[Barcode #]" (subtract the spaces in http and www)
"h ttp://w ww.keepautomation.com/online_barcode_generator/linear.aspx?DATA="&[Barcode #]&"&TYPE=7"
Then created a image display using a text formula.

I agree with Mariah, here is what I posted earlier using keepautomation.com
