    Many barcode readers plug straight into the keyboard socket, so they will just send a series of characters corresponding to the barcode.

    I've seen a few that use DDE or something wierd like that but most do use the keyboard.
    Search and you'll find a lot of companies who sell the hardware and software to make the bar codes. Heres just one:

    Nooooo, that was one of many lame jokes told by some guy on British TV the other night wasn't it? Just does one-liners all the time. I prefer Eddie Izzard myself. But not in that way

    I thought it fitted nicely into the topic though.

    Look for another Thread

    There was a Thread on this subject with a lot of replies posted. I think it was on the General VB Forum.
