Report Designer Barcode Adds "," to non currency barcodes

Hey,

I've just added barcodes to all of our reports in Report Designer 2010, trouble is when you create a barcode for example PURCHASE_ORDER.ORDER_NUMBER, instead of producing a barcode of "1234567" like it should, it creates that barcode as "1,234,567" this is obviously bad because when we scan the barcode it scans the commas too and therefore is pointless.

I've tried everything i can think of within the application to stop this from happening including using different types of barcode such as numeric only ones but they are not readable by any of our devices.

Any ideas how to stop it from adding the thousand seperators? I've tried formatting etc and there is no options in there i can see.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks, Steve.

IT is the format of the number. If you go to its properties you can deselect the thousands separator.
