I have a client who uses TimeWand by Videx. It's a very small, wallet-sized handheld size unit. Does not scan from far-away, you have to physically swipe over the barcode. In this client's instance, the exact order you scan is very important. The unit has a utility that outputs the scan (the number, date and time) into a already-named .txt file on the computer with one row per scan. My RBase program looks for the file, loads it into a table with an autonumber column so we always are sure of getting the scans in order. Can't remember how much the units cost, but believe me this is a client that does NOT spend alot of money on anything ....
