Hi DukeNuke2,
Thanks for the reply. But this isn't what I have in mind.
Let me elaborate. I've some applications running and I need the scanned barcodes to appear in the fields where my cursor is. That is, instead of using the keyboard as a input device, I would use the barcode reader.
I have seen it done with a hardware keyboard wedge connection, i.e. barcode reader and keyboard connected together. But in my case, I got a USB keyboard and serial (RS-232) barcode reader.
