Default Formula for Barcode (25) - 01-11-2006 , 12:01 PM






I have a formula to include a barcode in a program:

"!"&P1::Equivalent&P2::Equivalent&P3::Equivalent&x xx

At the beginning, I need a !, which works OK. At the end of this formula,
where the xxx is above, I need to have a " (quote character).

How do I make this work. I tried """ and it doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

You can try """" (four quotes)

The other way is to have a Global field (eg. g_QuoteMark) into which
you type the wanted character, then the formula becomes:

"!" & P1::Equivalent & P2::Equivalent & P3::Equivalent & g_QuoteMark

Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o)

Or in FM 7 or 8, this will work:

"!" & P1::Equivalent & P2::Equivalent & P3::Equivalent & quote("")
