Filemaker 14 Barcode Plugin stopped working

I just upgraded to the new Filemaker 14 on my Windows 8 PC and your plugin doesn't work. It still works on my coworker's Windows 7 pc though. Any ideas why?

Best Answer

With the new Filemaker 14 released on 5/12/2015, they have released two separate versions of their program, a 32-bit version, and a 64-bit version. We currently only have a 32-bit version of our plugin (.fmx for the 32-bit FileMaker Pro); however, our development team is working on releasing a 64-bit version (.fmx64 for the 64-bit FileMaker Pro) of our plugins to be compatible.*

This extension change affects the following products:
· Native Barcode Generator for FileMaker Pro
· FileMaker Pro Barcode Font Encoder Plugin

The Mac OSX plugin version is compatible with the new release of Filemaker 14 32-bit, but a 64-bit is currently in development as well.

In the interim, the following options are available:

1.
Use our Dynamic Barcode Generator Service, which works on 32 and 64-bit systems on multi-platforms. Our FileMaker Pro Barcode Tutorial shows how simple it is to be up and running in minutes.

2.
Use Codabar or Code-39 Fonts with a simple calculated field.

3.
Use the cfCode128 Custom Function with the IDAutomation Code 128 Font.

* Workaround for using 32-bit plugins on 64-bit Windows machines.


****** UPDATE ******

A new font encoder has been released to work with barcode fonts and is compatible with the most recent versions of FileMaker Pro, 32, and 64-bit versions, introducing the FileMaker Pro Barcode Custom Functions.

More information, online tutorial, and the most up-to-date version to download is located at:
https://www.idautomation.com/font-encoders/filemaker-barcode-custom-functions/

****** UPDATE ******

We have just released a new update for the Native Barcode Generator for FileMaker, creating custom functions instead of plugins that support Windows and Mac operating systems for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
· Release Log update information.
· Priority Support Renewal to receive the new version.
