[AccessD] Home inventory problem

Are you talking about the CueCat?  A quick Google showed me this little
gem:
http://www.cedmagic.com/cuecat/cuecat.html

I still have one of those in my dusty ol' junk boxes.  I'm definitely
going to try this out!

(...and the CueCat goes down in the annals of history as one of the
poorest conceived technology ventures.  Yeech!)

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.
