Re: Bar Codes

Lee Sorry I'm not able to help. But I am interested in hearing from you concening your application. Did you all have to get a special bar coder? How complicated is it storing this information in the DB? Can your bar coder read any type of UPC or Barcode's or must they be within certain limitation? When you have a few please feel me in on you application? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cheryl Kendricks Internet:cherylk@prod1.jcdc.doleta.gov OR kendric@gwysmtp.jcdc.doleta.gov DTSI, Inc.
