    Email Database Object


    I want to email an object (a report) that contains a text box with a barcode font. When I use the EmailDatabaseObject macro action, the barcode appears unformatted (i.e., as numbers) rather than as a barcode when the file is opened from a computer/device that doesn't have the barcode font installed.

    Can I email the object as an image of however it appears on my screen, so the barcode appears properly? Or could I convert the formatted text box to an image within the report?

    Thanks.

    Same result with all formats -- PDF, HTML, RTF. I don't know about SNP because my computer doesn't open it.

    I'll accept any format that will open on an iPhone or other device.

    Odd, thought PDF would have worked, however, my search indicates this is a common issue because the Access export to pdf is not embedding the font in the pdf. Might have to use Adobe Acrobat Pro to post process the pdf and embed the barcode font. Then send the pdf as attachment to an email.
