RE: Bar code issue

Yes, it is possible and reasonably cheap.

You can probably get by with a cheap barcode scanner tied to a client
access session.

You can verify the info on the screen and process it as you wish.

(A program would need to be written to write to the file, but this is
somewhat trivial as well).

In regards to putting it in a spreadsheet, why would you want to do
this?

Spreadsheets can be manipulated and your data accuracy is thrown out the
window.

subject: Bar code issue - Isn't this pretty basic, or is it too 'old
school'?

Ladies & Gentlemen -

Isn't it possible [and fairly easy/cheap] to scan the barcode on the
yellow postal return labels and load the data into either an Iseries
table
or an Excel spreadsheet?
