I don't want to sound all self-righteous but, it always amazes me how people want to be paid for their work but are not willing to pay for someone else's work. I suppose I should applaud the "honesty" in posting the intention to circumvent "demo" restrictions of commercial software... but, probably I misread your post and you meant you were going to *test* the implementation using the demo version and then purchase the real version for the production environment. Right?

Thanks, sorry for the lateness. Real busy with a lot of projects and items. I'll look into those options as well. I'm familiar with ID Automation software. I downloaded the free version, but it puts the word "DEMO" at the beginning of the barcodes, this is irrelavent as I can take that out through the split function so it wont used. I only need to be able to scan the datamatrix barcodes to verify the cardholder in the database.

Best Price/value way might be to take a look at viscomsoft's OCX which in the basis version enables you to capture images from the WebCam which you might then pass through a bar/Q-Code recognition module to recognise/extract the card data. They do however also do a version, possibly the easiest solution, which will read barcodes from the captured images thiscosts a bit more money but less of your time. The barcode capable version I have not personally tested, the capture version(s) I have used. At the other end of the scale there's the "do it all yourself with the help of available open-source and/or code-examples" which is the way to go if your time is cheap and your ingenuity unbounded :-)(this is my third attempt to reply, Yahoo's software refuses to work with my Firefox and now rejects my email responses, so, here I am in Chrome again... did Google buy Yahoo?!?)

Never thought about using a webcam, I do have an old Logitech QuickCam. How would I set it up to read data matrix barcodes? Would it automatically work as a scanner and auto scan it?

A WebCam is cheaper than a smartphone and you can attach it to your Access database using available OCXs.
However, I did actually write a mobile, windows mobile, App to scan RFID Tags and where I currently work they use a movbile device to scan barcodes which are then entered, via WLAN/WiFi into a text file which is then read by a server task and further processed into database (actually SQL Server but it could have been Access.) That's why I ask if I've understood your question/application properly.

I've tried searching to see if there are solutions to use a mobile device's barcode scanner app to scan barcodes into access, but found none. Is this possible yet? Aside from creating a mobile app to work specifically with Access.
