    I suggest you use Google/Bing to do some searches. eg using barcode scanner with ms access sample code
    Here is a free video by Steve Bishop that deals with barcodes and Access but you should review a few articles to familiarize yourself with the topic.

    Welcome to the forum.

    First off, if you haven't done so, check the documentation for your scanner...many, or so I've been told, actually include info on using the device with Access...ditto the manufacturer's website and technical support line.

    Also, understand that data entered via the scanner is treated by Access in the same way it is treated if it were entered via the keyboard.

    The problem with making anything foolproof...is that fools are so darn ingenious!
