Hi Mark, Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I will go with the first option. But now I have another question. Will any Barcode Scanner work? Or are there special Scanners that can be read as keyboard emulation? Do you have any pointers of what sort of scanners I should use? Thanks in advance. Fidel.
