Thanks very much Masqueraid! &nbsp;It didn't enter my mind that Corel might be generating the 12th check digit itself, but sure enought it is. &nbsp;Perfect barcode. &nbsp;I really appreciate your good thought. &nbsp;cowlife

Using Bar Tender's (from Seagull Scientific) UPC-A simbology and Corel Draw 12's UPC-A,<br />
the barcodes created with the same numbers are not alike. &nbsp;Bar Tender asks for 12 numbers and the barcode is made correctly and scans. &nbsp;Corel Draw asks for 11 &nbsp;numbers and then asks for 2 to 5 more in another block. &nbsp;My product has only 12 numbers for its barcode. The two barcodes of course can not look alike since the Corel has more numbers and it does not appear to be correct. &nbsp;Why would 2 differnt programs ask for 2 different things to create a UPC-A barcode. &nbsp;Sorry if I sent this to the incorrect topic area. &nbsp;Thanks, &nbsp;cowlife

Why is the same UPC-A barcodes different with two different softwares?

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
