>I need to add Barcode reading features to my VFP5.0, any sugestions on add-on products and hardware. I want to use something that can be run within VFP. Thanks

Jorge, we have 3 implementations in one app: Keyboard like Steven Ruhl's, serial port and a radio-frequency long distance that also interacts through the serial port. In each case the hardware is off-the-shelf. The first two stuff the keyboard in various ways, the third uses MSCOMM32 to interact.

Let me know if I can help with anything.
