I need to log in and out borrowed items. Would a barcode
reader help? How easy is the interface?
 
I don't know what kind of throughput you have to have the
need for a barcode reader but the interface is pretty
simple.
 
Dear Ralph:

Your question is a bit too broad for a specific answer, but if you are
asking if barcode scanners can be used with Access, they, yes, they can... I
use barcodes and a scanner in a school library application written in
Access. It is the "wedge" type of scanner which sends the scanned number to
the application as if it had been typed in at the keyboard. You can find
more information about scanners and barcodes and Access and oodles of other
things at Tony Toews's site and particularly here:

P.S. I wonder if "Toews's" is correct, or is it "Toews'"... where's my
