@strive4peace Crystal has done a lot of work with graphic objects. She may be able to offer a solution.

Are you trying to put a circle on top of a barcode graphic or a barcode font?

Add an image control and load a PNG circle.

You can use the Circle method of the report object. In the example below, I have a text box named Eggs with a numeric value. I want to draw a red circle around the value if it is less than 50.

Private Sub Detail_Print(Cancel As Integer, PrintCount As Integer)
    If Me.Eggs < 50 Then
        Me.DrawWidth = 30
        Me.Circle Step(Me.Eggs.Left + Me.Eggs.Width / 2, Me.Section(0).Height / 2), _
           Me.Section(0).Height / 2
    End If
End Sub

circle the number #26, this can be 1 to 3 digits

Just making sure... The image you posted looked like it was a graphic, and the approach could be different for a graphic than a simple text. For instance, you may have to know the exact position of #26 if it's a graphic.

Here's a link to the help docs for the Report.Circle method that Duane mentions.

"thick" = "width"
