Barcode With Static Ord Number But Serialized Units Numbers
Guys, hoping you can help here.
I need a 128 barcode with Order?????Unit???
The order number will be entered at the user prompt. The unit number must serialize based on starting unit number and number of units produced.
So the operator would answer these questions at the print prompt:
Order number:
Starting Unit:
Ending Unit Number:
for example
I have order number 345345 and Units 3 through 6
I need the barcode to print:
Label 1 :Order 345345 Unit 3
Label 2 :Order 345345 Unit 4
Label 3 :Order 345345 Unit 5
Label 4 :Order 345345 Unit 6

Hello,
To get this done, you need to specify 4 different data sources inside the actual barcode:
- First data source will contain the word "Order" (not the space at the end of it).
- Second data source will be related with the "Order Number" Data Entry Control.
- The third data source will contain only the "Unit" word.
- The forth one will contain a serialized value that should be related with the "Starting Unit" data entry control.
The tricky part is actually how to specify how many serialized copies you want. This will be done with using the values for the starting and ending units. You'll need to open the "File>Print..." click enter the "Options" button for the "Serial numbers" value, have the serial number get its quantity from a data source (which will show a data source in the options dialog), and have this data source be of the VB SCript type.
This VB script will need to be an "event based" VB script that will simply get the difference between the ending unit and the starting unit (in your case it would be "6-3").
