Barcode Code 128 generateing in Crystal reports

[#1]

Hello,

im really new to Crystal Reports. I need to create a code 128 Barcode and prefferable a Matrix Code on one of our Reports.
But i just cant get it to work. I tried the font, i tried some code i found in the depths of the internet. It just doenst generate/Print my Barcode. The data field i have to Print as a Barcode has Letters, Numbers and Spaces in between.
I would like to solve this without 3rd party tools, if possible. 

Kind Regards
Kevin

When you select the Font you may see Azalea's 128 if you download it from them. CR installs Code39 by default. Right click on the text field and select Font and find your 128 code font. Multiple options for free versions avaliable.

As for 2D  barcodes, CR doesn't support them but there are options.

Ido who develops for Ken has a UFL that supports 2D barcodes:

You would need a 3rd-party UFL (User Function Library) to support some types of barcodes.

Barcode UFL typically depend on installing a special font on the machine processing the Crystal Report.
Perhaps you simply need to install the UFL.

My CUT Light UFL generates barcodes without any font dependency. The barcodes are generated on the fly as images, and are loaded into the report using the 'Graphic Location' expression in the property of a dummy image. Here is the relevant user manual section.
