I have a table with numbers in it. The table field is Long Integer
and the numbers are just consecutive 5 digit numbers, ie: 40000,
40001, 4002, 4003, etc. I place the table field (40001) in a text box
on a Report and then set the text box font to a barcode font (Code
39). BUT in order to read the barcode correctly the number in the
report (which produces the barcode) must have an asterisk before and
after the number, like, *40001*. I am creating and adding the numbers
to the table but I can't add them to a second field with asterisks
because I can't mix Text and Numbers. Any ideas?

To output the number with an asterisk on each side:
1. Open the report in design view.
2. Right-click the text box and choose Properties
3. Set the ControlSource to:
="*" & [Field1] & "*"
4. Change the Name property of the text box as well (Other tab of Properties
box).

Problem solved. I used the Eval function to Evaluate the variable and
plugged the results of the Eval into a new variable that was declared
as String and then put that into a new column in the table where the
table field type was string. rc*********@yahoo.com (RC) wrote in message news:<3c**************************@posting.google. com>... I have a table with numbers in it. The table field is Long Integer

how about putting an unbound textbox on your report and setting the
controlsource to "*" & [your_number_field] & "*"
Thank you Allen and Pieter, I didn't check back quick enough before
wrote back with my "Eval" solution. I didn't know I could do that
with the control source. Your suggestion will be a much more elegant
solution. I won't have to clog up the table with an extra column of
data. Thanks for the lesson. RC
