Re: [Kbarcode] generating a bunch of barcodes on 1 page

No worries on the timing, I think we all understand busy schedules and being
stretched too thin.

Here's a few notes for you.  I'm on holiday right now, if no one else
responds by the time i return, I'll put together some more notes for you.

The red X you're seeing can be due to the barcode format you've selected,
the shape and ratio may be wrong size or it doesn't have complete data and
won't have until it receives data from the Articles table in the database.
You'll need to see what format of barcode data your scanner supports before
you choose a format.  a simple format is Code 39 [GNU Barcode] and most
barcode scanners support it.

The [serial] tag goes into the Values field in the properties of the barcode
and it will be populated as you work your way thru the batch print dialogue.
