Hi Hez, It's been my experience that most if not all scanners come with either a hardware or software keyboard wedge. If it doesn't you may want to look at the problem differently. Provide a software keyboard wedge, what this will do is receive the input from RS-232 or USB and emulate keyboard input for the platforms you want to support. Then your GWT app doesn't have to worry about it. The one thing you may need to account for is sometimes the input is wrapped in a beginning and end character i.e. 1234 becomes *1234*.
