this site is blocked at my work..... http://en.allexperts.com/q/Using-MS-Access-1440/Integrating-Wireless-Barcode-Scanner.htm

i'm under the impression that this isn't true, but feel free to tell me if i'm wrong based on the example i just gave. im by no means an expert on this stuff obviously.

this is the most basic way i can explain....................... -a QA operator sits down at his desk. -he needs to compile some statistics about the 27 office telephones at work. -he powers on his PC and opens microsoft access. -he creates 3 questions using access: -he hooks up his hand held...

the operator answers the questions. the bar code just activates the questions and associates the answers from the operator with the specific bar code.

no. it'll be the same questions. -questions are made on a PC using access -questions are transferred to scanner -scanner is used to scan barcodes on inventory -barcodes work as a identification and store the answers to the questions for the specific inventory -total inventory questions are...

correct, what i'm looking for is the interface you're referring to. access would really just be a "home base". -questions are created in access. -responses are dumped back into access. in between transferring the questions to and from the pc and handheld device, there needs to be a third party...

after talking to each company and then thinking "winwedge" was the right choice, my boss informed me that it wasn't.... kind of frustrating... Here's an additional set of requirements I was given that could possibly help:

I found a program called "WinWedge" that seems to be a more broad program, but according to their site, it does what I'm talking about: I figured I'd update this in case someone else has a similar question in the future...
