I'm working in a project to create an inventory control for the packages received. Some packages are customer related and others administrative related. Thanks for any assistantce... Best Regards,

Nowadays, barcode scanners have their own built-in software to convert the scan to OCR/data/image and dump into database, image file, etc.. I'd start with the scanner hardware manufacturer and see what they have in software solutions--it'll be cheaper than trying to write this yourself. _____________________________ Follow us on TWITTER (in reply to juanesteve)
