bar code reader

anybody know how to write code to link the bar code reader to a project...

how.......(screaming like helllll!!!)
please teach me any one who knows....(Pleaseeeeee!!!!)

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:

Two people walk into a pub covered in bar codes

The Land Lord asks them

Are you two an item?

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 ;)

Yes

I thought it fitted nicely into the topic though.

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