General :: Scanning Barcodes Into A Database
Oct 15, 2012I'm looking to create a database in order to scan a barcode on a packing slip to be automatically entered into database and update an inventory file.
View RepliesI'm looking to create a database in order to scan a barcode on a packing slip to be automatically entered into database and update an inventory file.
View RepliesI can use barcode scanning to track items through the process, on the condition that the relevant field on a form is highlighted.
The issue is I want the scanning/tracking with wireless scanners to be going on in the background while an operator can use the other functions of the database.
I'm thinking the solution is two computers, one to run the barcode scanning & tracking the other for the rest of the database functions. The problem is we only have one work PC and getting money for a new PC will be like pulling teeth.
Is there a one PC solution?

Just wondering if it is possible to populate a database by scanning in a form into a scanner? For instance, if I had a standard paper form with typed data inside of the paper form's fields, to place that form into a scanner and have a program extract the characters in each one of the fields and place them into the appropriate fields in a database. I have heard of some agencies doing this, but don't know the names of software packages that would make this possible. Can anyone suggest some software packages or methods of doing this?
Thank you,
Joe
Wondering if anybody has any information about this.
Backgound information: My access database information comes from a 'card' where somebody has manually put crosses in a number of boxes. This information is currently being manually inputted into the database...
I know you can get scanners to pick up information from a document...but is this possible with microsoft access?
Once a year we have a conference that has about 400 people attend. These people will participate in several classes, randomly, over a four day period. Each class hands out an evaluation form. This form has six categories and asks you to rate each from 1 to 5. This is done with a grid on the form labeled with 1 2 3 4 5 across the top and the attendees will put a checkmark or X in the appropriate box. This results in approximately 3000 evaluation sheets.
I will take these and manually enter the scores into a database I created in order to tally the results and generate reports. I have been asked to see if this process can be expedited by using a scanner to pull the scores from the sheets.
Is there a way to directly access a TWAIN compatible scanner directly from a form button in Access 2007/2010 so that it will add one or more images to the specific table?

I have just been having a look at some of the past threads and I am hoping that what i want to do is possible however I am just wanting to check that it is possible and how hard it is?
I already have a database which controlls all of our stock however the quantaties have to be manually updated so I would like to give each item a barcode and use a handheld scanner so that the users can just scan what they have taken and then at the end of the day upload it to the database and all the quantaties will change.
My questions are is this possible and how hard would it be for a beginer?
Thank you
I want to add a bar code feature to my database for the following reason,
I want to use it as a search facility when looking up a member, each member will have a unique ID which I would assume would be turned into a barcode font.
When I scan the members ID card I would like the details for this person to be displayed.
Are there any idiot guides or useful reference points for me to get started with this, I have never used this method before so therefore know nothing about where to get started.
Have located a hand held scanner to use, it is a datalogic Dragon Scanner
Any help would be great
Cheers

Hey everyone,
I am trying to make a custom Access database, and I would like to have the ability to integrate barcodes into the database.
Basically, what I want to do is have the database open and when I scan a particular barcode, it will bring up a record associated with that barcode in a Form. I am wanting it to bring up the record pertaining to that specific barcode to allow for quicker retrieval of records ... Is that possible? Anyone know of how to do that?
Thanks!
Jason

We're trying to print a barcode (characterset "3 of 9 barcode"). If we print the data starting from an Excel-document on a Dymo-printer there is no problem to "read" the barcode with a scanner. However, if we print the same data starting from an Access-database, the barcode cannot be scanned. Does anybody have a clue how to solve this ?

Since the barcodes of the same group of items are always changing, I want to figure out how I can scan all related items into one textfield, where at selling point, any item code can serve for that group without recording each one differently.

I am using Access '97 (hope to upgrade at some stage)! Wondered if anyone can recommend any bar code generating software that easily integrates with Access 97?
Thanks

Hi,
I need to be able to run my database in the background but i still need to be able to input data from a barcode scanner is this possible. I have worked out how scan bar codes but when the application is minmised it no longer accepts the barcode data.

Hi All
I am wanting to use a barcode scanner to input data into a field and bring up details based on the barcode. This is simple enough as long as the field you want to scan into has focus. Is there a method which will automatically populate the correct field with the scanned data no matter where I am on the form.
Thanks in advance.
I need to be able to scan documents into individual records in access and I was wondering if this could be done.

My client is a baseball league who started a Kids Club which has membership cards that have a barcode and their own specific number to monitor the number of times that the KidsClub members come to the games. They don’t have any software to go with the cards though. They asked me if I could help. I created a simple table in Access to capture the name, address, telephone, email, number of games attended. The cards have a barcode on them, and they would like to be able to scan the card with a USB handheld scanner and have the number of games attended field to be updated by the scan. Each card has its own number that is programmed into the barcode, which could be the primary key for Access. Can you offer any assistance in how to get the scan of the card to update the "number of games attended" field I created based upon the barcode number?

I have a table that contains passive and active devices. I want to find correct active device to which passive device is connected. However passive device can be connected to another passive device and after that to an active device - could be endless times a passive device is connected to passive device and then in the end to an active device. So the code needs to plot the path from beginning passive device to the correct active device.
I will include excel table with data and wanted result.
The criteria for passive devices that need its active device found, is i think something like this:
Code:
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE [TYPE] = "D3P" AND NOT [Mark] LIKE "*ZUUM*" AND [Sort] = "Passive"
I got the result via doing excel function index-match for like 5 times and excel stalling. However I would like it to be done automatically.
I designed an inventory control software and we are managing our stock through barcode scanning, it is working well although i have a problem to solve that i have put a combo box for scanning code 39 barcode, upon scan the barcode a code is entered into combo box and then we need to press the "ENTER" key to go for new record, we would like to ms access form to automatically go to new record when a code input from scanner.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been asked to create a database very quickly for a small group that needs to scan multiple pages into an Access 2007 form. They they would like all scanned documents to be converted to PDF and stored on a shared network folder which can be accessed by their group. I have tried several ideas posted but, I have been unable to get any to work correctly. Any sample of working database that the scanning portion is working? I am so involved with other projects right now that I just don't have the time to create a scanning process on the database.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have some code set up to automate scanning from access to a specific folder on the server. I have searched the web for different codes and have not come across anything that will scan an unknown amount of documents. The best I found was the code I am currently using, that will scan up to 10 documents separately, then convert these documents into 1 PDF. This is not ideal, however, because it would require the user to scan 1 document, wait, than scan another, wait, etc. Also, the code I am currently using will only scan from the glass, not the auto feeder, and I am unsure how to change this.

I'm scanning bar codes into the record search box, most of the time it works as it should but occasionally I get multiple "cannot open any more databases" errors. It still finds the product record but the error messages are super annoying. I am sure to clear the memory on the scanner each time before I scan in a new barcode but it doesn't seem to matter. Also sure to only have one or 2 forms open at a time, that doesn't seem to matter either. Most of the time I don't get the errors but when I have to click through like 10+ error messages (all identical). I only have one database open so I'm not sure what it even means. Also I have tried this in 2 different forms and it's the same for both forms. Seems like I get the errors in my initial scan and then after clearing them it seems to work without errors.

I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
