Filemaker mobile and bar codes

Featured Replies

Thanks to several tips in this forum, I have been able to complete a bar code system for getting information from our member's cards into a computer.

I used trio serial plug in (we have serial Symbol LS1004 scanners) with Filemaker.

Now I would like to see if anyone knows of a serial interface using Filemaker mobile??? I want to scan bar codes (3 of 9) into Filemaker.

Any more ideas to get a serial scanner to work with Filemaker mobile?

A more typical approach is to use one of the Symbol Palm Pilots, either the SPT-1500 or SPT-1700. They have a built-in scanner. I have used an SPT-1500 with JFile and FMSync to interface with FileMaker. I don't know if FM Mobile has the capability to interface with the Symbol Palm Scanner (JFile does). FM Mobile is by far the most featureless of the Palm Databases (JFile, ThinkDB, etc.).
