    Access as Default Program for Device

    I have a device -- a barcode scanner. I want to scan barcodes into a text box on a form. I want barcode scans to register with Access even if Access is operating in the background (i.e., isn't the window on top). Is this possible?

    Thank you.

    Would it be possible to write an exe file that would sit in memory and wake up Access when input is detected from the port to which the scanner is connected? Could anyone help me with that?

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
