How about HTML, could you do that?
I think you could use AvantGo and write your app in HTML. The AvantGo browser
has built in support for the bar code scanner in Symbol 1500 and 1700 series
devices. All you have to do is make a HTML form with a coupel of text fields
in it, turn the scanner on, scan the barcodes into the form, then submit the
forms (one per desk I guess) to a web server.
A little bit of C/C++ code (like 100 lines) would allow you to save the data
to the text file you describe and skip the form submittal.

also a fan of doing everything with HTML, because it is so easy!>
