    How to Send Text to a Portable Data Terminal using VBA - Barcode Scanner

    I am adding a Trohestar Wireless Barcode Scanner and Collector Portable Data Terminal to my Access application. We use a number of simple barcode scanners for input, however, this is the first one with a small LCD screen. When the Operator scans, say, an item in inventory, I want to be able to send back the location and on-hand balance to display on the LCD screen. How do I address the device to send this text information, preferably, using VBA. Thanks, Eddie

    I have found out that this portable data terminal cannot receive text or signals from the host PC. There are other models that might support this, but they are beyond the price range of my clients.

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