This AppleScript™ takes the contents of a field in a FileMaker Pro™ 4 database and places the BarCode equivalent graphic into a picture field within the same record. To test, type the text "5001234567890" into the text field and click on the area shown to generate the BarCode graphic.
The actual script can be viewed from the Script Menu within the FileMaker Pro™ 4 application. An AppleScript™ is executed by that FileMaker Pro™ 4 script to create the foundation for a functional BarCode labelling program.
A simple template database has been supplied to help you build your BarCode labelling software. By editing the scripts, you can modify the type of BarCode that will be created.
The script was created using the ScriptEditor™ program supplied with AppleScript™ system software. The Scorpion BarCode software supports the Script Recording feature within ScriptEditor™ enabling you to create scripts easily and quickly!
