New UPC Bar Code in the Database Exchange

I have added a new experimental bar code generator file to the Panorama Database Exchange called UPC Bar Code. This file allows you to enter a 12 digit product code and have it generate the actual UPC bar code for the product. It then goes to barcodelookup.com to get the description and image of the product. The final 12th digit is also checked for proper checksum and, if wrong, will give you the proper value to be used.

I have tested the printed output at full size and reduced to 1 inch and confirmed that the app on my iPhone is able to identify the related product properly. Since the bar code object and text displays are all grouped together it can be properly scaled smaller or larger.

I have no idea whether or not this is at all useful but it is kind of fun to play with and watch the bar codes being generated. Once entered all the data for the code is saved to the database and can be scrolled through at will.
