Hi All!

I want to know more about barcoding and how to write "barcoding software", what I mean is how to interface with a scanner and even how to manualy check if the program is getting correct data, and interpretting it correctly. How do I convert those lines to numbers? How do I go about interfacing with the scanner (handheld connected to PC). And which software is best to use to create and later manipulate the database of stock items which I want to scan in. MS Acces maybe? I expect about 2-3000 items of stock. I know there are more than one barcode standard. A UK and an International one (I think).

If anybody has done anything like this, please drop me a line.

Thanks for your time/help/advise.

Cheers
Rossi.
