Hi Sam, When the barcode is scanned it reads in alphnumerics and symbols. The only symbol we have to worry about is the "=" sign at the beginning. In the example above I just asked about the "00" at the end. If I can get the code for the "00", I should be able to figure out the code for the "=" at the beginning. An actual scanned example is: "=W05631300409200". If the column is formatted as text, the "=" is retained in the string, otherwise, Excel will try to do something with it, and it isn't understood. Thanks, Don
