Posted By: Mahavishnu Post Date: 11/16/2004 7:34:26 AM
Hi,

I have been working on ASP and VB technologies. But now i need to extract data from a hand held scanner. This hand held scanner reads a serial number which is in barcode format. Can anyone suggest me how do i go about.

thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks!

 I assume you are using a scanner that hooks into the keyboard or the keyboard cable and simply emulates the user pushing keys?

In that case, you don't need *anything* special, at all.

Now, it *is* true that the scanner will simply put whatever it scans into whatever field on the form currently has the focus.
