I am looking for a way to generate "CODE 39" bar codes from Filemaker. Is there a plug-in available to do this?

Code 39 is just a font you purchase and use. When you want to print Code 39 create a calculation field:

Code39Print (calculation, text) =

"*" & YourField & "*"

The barcode scanner requires the leading and trailing "*" to recognize Code 39. Format this field for printing using the Code 39 font.

Codes 39 is a direct character by character translation of each letter or number into a bar pattern and as such is just a font and does not requrire anything more complex. More complex 2D barcodes such as PDF417 and MaxiCode require plug-ins, as they are not a character by character translation, but have variable redundancy with error correction codes, etc.

(I've deleted your duplicate post in (Features), we don't allow duplicate questions and this isn't really a feature FM needs. Also, we do have a Barcode forum.)
