You must atleast knowledgeable in ADO before starting your program.

About the cash regisiter it is not very hard to make code for it, if you mean the barcode scanner then you don't need a code for it just plug in to your computer then it works.

To start your project you must design first your database make it perfect before starting your code else you will spend more time when your data design crush

How ieasy is it to link the Barcode tags on the flower to the scanner so that when I point the scanner to the barcode, information about the flower, i.e the price, description is retrieved from the database.

Thanks...

O ic you really need to create a table where barcodes stores, including info for specific code.

Then use a SQL Select statement to query it.

For example :

Select * from stocks where barcode = txtbarcode

If you need help just count me start building your database now...


O I almost forgot, include on your program design a utility or form where you can enter or update barcode description and stocks
