Heh, you need a Symbol Spectrum 24 system with a SPT 1740!
Scan a code, send it to the Spectrum 24 server, which would be
running a server side database that gets updated via the web, and
use the code as a primary key.
(I imagine they store this data on an intranet, and not directly
on the web...)
Can't think of a simpler solution than that for your users...they
can Hotsync their 1740's just about anywhere, too.
