barcode scanner

[Paolo Mazza]

Thanks to everybody.  I really appreciated  your suggestions on the 
barcode issue.
I will buy a barcode scanner tomorrow, I will test your script and let 
you know.
I am supposed to set up a Personnel control System using a win-PC and 
Revolution.

Best regards,

Paolo Mazza
