Hey all,

This is sort of a broad question - hope I'm posting in the right board ....

How can I go apart setting up a database (Im thinking about access here? )

I want to set up some fields for my company - such as name , number , address , email address etc etc.

I have a dymo label printer to print out the barcodes. Ive tried inputting the information on the barcode itself but the barcode becomes 'too big to print' , so I want to be able to link a database to the barcode so when its scanned it will load up all the information.

Sorry I have no code - I just have no place to start ):

Cheers for the help!

First save the barcode number in a database including the other fields such as name,product etc.

then when you start coding just search for the barcode itself and just call the other fields..

What i mean though - is when I scan the barcode I print out - with my phone or a barcode scanner - I want to be able to see the information linked to it in the database

ahh ok. try these (print 5 barcode number in a sheet of paper)
now you got 5 barcode numbers. (save the barcode number manually in your db with their respective fields)
after you save... then scan the barcode number and ull see the result..
i dont know what programming language do you use thats why i dont know how to explain it clearly.. anyway using barcode doesnt need a program code because the reason of having a barcode is to input the number in the system without entering it manually.

hmmm - I could only get it to load up just one field I chose - I couldn't get it to load up multiple fields when scanned \=

what language are you using..?

[S3lkies]

I just tried it in Access - I have no idea what program to do it in or even how to do it
