Kahn?: 3 of 9 is probably a good way for you to go. Lot's of stuff avail on it. It has the same width "spaces" and 9 bars (3 are wide, 6 are narrow), start and stop characters and an optional check digit. Try these bar code links: http://www.hp.com:80/HP-COMP/3.0/BCMO/Misc/bc_ref.html http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/info.html Let me know if they help. P.S. I have a very nice long range CCD barcode scanner for sale. Much eaiser to use than a wand. No moving parts, used 3 hours, scans up to 7" from code. It has a keyboard wedge or "raw" decoded output. In the box with all manual's etc. Private E-Mail me if you (or anyone) is interested. Email to: scott.horton@global(NOSPAM)netlink.net (Remove the "(NOSPAM)" from the address above) Scott
