Receive data from barcode reader in VBA
Its USB, Thanks for the help I'll look into it.

Excel would have to control the port by putting the device into scan mode and then read data from the port. I've programmed Rs-232 serial ports on the PC through VBA. You need to get the list of commands the bar code reader supports and generate a program. Many device supply sample code. Check the bar code manuafactures website for downloads and sample code.

I'm hoping its possible to have vba select the cell, go into edit mode recieve scan, enter and then move down one cell. I guess it would be a matter of programatically going into and out of edit mode based on length of the variable. |
