[AccessD] Home inventory problem

He could scan the ISBN barcode. I remember we had a discussion once (couple
of years ago?) about a cheapo scanner that was being given away free- I got
one from Forbes magazine as I recall. There was a great hack with code to
allow one to scan into Access. Hey, if you're going off the deep end why not
go all the way?!

Gustav,

I'm sure he's considered the time needed. I once "inventoried" all the
books in our house by category. I didn't list them, I just counted
them. No way would I want to record even just the titles in a
database. But my friend seems reconciled to it.
