I'm new to access. I would like to capture data from x.x.x.x:3002 The data is 8 digits and currently seperated by a - I can set the seperator as almost anything I want. I'd like to capture this data and log it with a timestamp. The data comes from a barcode reader and at times the barcodes will come fast, up to 20 per second. I'm not sure exactly how to proceed as far as opening the port and how to get the barcodes to the DB with a timestamp. Do I use a Winsock control which is not installed on my computer? I'm not looking for someone to write the vba for me, although it would be nice. I'm looking to do this and learn as well. I'm not real good at vba but can cut and paste and make things work. Creative I'm not.


Any suggestions and ideas? The scanner port 3002 is a server and constantly streams they barcodes as they are read.
Thanks
