thing was only a tester,
thing is we are currently running our system in Access, and the computer guy at work, who developed the database, knows VB well but never went into C++.
the system is already up and running and has been for a couple of years. each product has space for bar codes but weve never used em. Recently we decided to try and sort it out so we bought a cheap scanner, this symbol to see how it would work.
looked about and found a loads of development software and bits so downloaded them and tried out a few bits of free software.
hence the above.
a bit of background, firm is food wholesaler, over 5000 product lines. we place orders through forms that we print out as Purchase Order Reports, simple to export as excel sheets. We were thinking along the lines of;
downloading po's onto pda, when people deliver, click supplier then scan barcode - show products details we double check then enter amount , done!!
then upload onto computer, double check enty versus delivery note and confirm.
then have an additon screen for creating new po's
cheers for the input
