Barcode reader

[hmho]

Is this possible and how is it done. I set up tble where I keep track phonecards inventory. Each card has serial number. Is it possible to buy handheld barcode reader and scann each card and the data to go directly to the form or table.

Thanks

Sure; most barcode readers act as keyboard input, so you simply make sure focus is on a textbox when you scan, and code the textbox to handle the input.
