Barcode scanner Motorola LS2208 with Access?

[panoss]

I 'm thinkig of bying this device in order to use it with ms Access.
(to read barcode and enter it in a textbox of a form. And also to create Barcode which will be readable by the scanner).
Is it a suitable device?
What's your opinion?

It scans the barcode and sends ASCII code (text) to the focused text box in my access Form?
Am I getting this right?

(for barcode creation I 'm planning to use is this)

Yes you also need to install a barcode font into windows as well, use code39 its the most common

using the kb wedge option, barcodes are scanned into the current field of any s/w, eg word excel access.

to print a barcode enclose the field with * at start and end. you may have to build a string to include them.
