Hi, can any one help me ?
I have been developing Barcode application by using software VB 6.0 and MS-Access 2000 as database, and I have no experience in development of barcode application.

Can any one help me how to take the scanned data from Barcode reader, how to send that data to Database. And how to retrieve data from database by using Barcode scanner ?

Eagerly looking for reply

Thanks

First of all you need a "Keyboard wedge" scanner. This barcode scanner connects to the keyboard port with a "Y" adapator so you can still use the keyboard.
So anywhere the cusrsor is blinking you can get the barcoded information.

In your app you add a text box and in the "Keydown" event of that text box add this code

If keycode = &hd then
'Enter key was pressed

'add code to look up what's in this text box in your Access database
end if DougP, MCP
