Newbies brb2bob Posted July 31, 2021 Newbies Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm interested in the BarCode Add On that is mentioned on the Claris Web Site. I'm confused though, it points out this Add On is free, but I see no information on how to get it. Also, where can I find out about how to use, or maybe I should say, integrate it into one of my FileMaker Apps I create? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies brb2bob Posted August 1, 2021 Author Newbies Share Posted August 1, 2021 Thanks, It answers my question and I appreciate the quick response. I wonder though, now that I know how to get it into one of my apps, is there more information on how to use these Add On's in general? In my case I'm trying to see if this Bar Code Add On will let me read a bar code from a product. Or am I barking up the wrong tree, here. As you can tell this is all new to me. Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 That only generates barcodes to print. To read a barcode and decode it you will need to use FMGo using the iPhone or iPad camera to capture and or decode the image or purchase a stand alone wired or wireless barcode reader.

bcooney Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Typical use of a barcode is to find the record you need by whatever value you encode in the barcode. Barcode readers are simply devices that’ll read the code and insert the decoded value in a field. From there, you’d use find to go to the target record.
