I'm sure you'll get a response or two from the group regarding a programmer with PalmOS (or other PDA) skills. Unfortunately, that's not me...
BUT...... With regards to a barcode scanner, I had to do some work with these things in the past 6 months or so... A bar code scanner is treated like another input device, and feeds a simple alpha numeric block of text to the computer. The ones I was working with "just worked" without any driver installations, or configurations. But, it was also possible to reconfigure them to behave differently (i.e. append a carriage return at the end of the scanned text or not...). So, our application then became nothing more than a simple business app, which just happened to use a bar code scanner - there was no special coding needed to make the scanner work. If you are going to do scanning from a PDA, then things could be different (never had to do anything like that... yet...), I suspect not though. My thoughts.. hope this helps some...
