Will this work with data entry for MS-ACCESS or MS-EXCEL?

Hi, Thank you for the interest. We asked Ectaco, the brand owner, and they said, "YES", it does work.

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

I'm confident that it would work swimmingly. I use Excel to print a custom label for the work we do.

Yes, it is possible. The BEST way to do it is to simple export your data from Approach to a "standard" format, such as text or even an XLS file. Then, go into Access, create a new database, then then import the data. Richard Rost AccessLearningZone.com

It come with a limited version. I loaded OpenOffice. It's free and works with all MS apps.

I transferred a DB from Omnis which is another database system, but I am sure you can also from Access. You just have to export the file and then import it into FileMaker. I usually use 'Tab-Delimited' export format (one of the common export options). Tab-Delimited will allow you to have commas and dashes and most special characters in your fields. FileMaker will create a DB with your fields when you import in the order they are exported. The only thing you might have to do is to go through each field and make the date type fit your data otherwise most fields will be considered text. Also, you might have to enter a name for each field. I was unfamiliar with FileMaker 12 when I bought it, but it only took me about 2 days (maybe 3 hours total work) to set up my DB and even build a screen that displayed the data the way I wanted it to appear.

I use it with the web form and a Mac. You have to be sure to have your cursor in the first field but it works 95% of time (some cards are to worn to read).

I run on Mac. It has been compatible with all of my MS Office for Mac files. I would be willing to step out and say it should work well for the PC version as well.

you could download "OpenOffice" it is a suite of products similar to MS office, in fact it will open most of teh files, if not all of them including word, and databases in MS Access format. it does not have all the features, but for most people it will be a perfectly good alternative, and it is FREE.

It worked on Windows 7 for me, and I created a couple of fillable forms. Not sure about Windows XP however.

I do not use Outlook but I have found a website that might explain what you are looking for: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/share-data-between-access-2010-and-outlook-2010-HA102483932.aspx

No, this has it's own version of word, excel and power point that is compatible with the ms versions.Actually works quite nicely.I've downloaded ms stuff and used it, haven't uploaded to my pc and used with ms programs yetGood luck :}

No. But it's trailware and doesn't give you full MS Office functionality for free. After the trial period is over it reverts. I just uninstalled the entire application and replaced it with libreoffice http://www.libreoffice.org/. If you don't need all of the advanced macro feature libreoffice will do the job nicely.

The one that I purchased had Windows Vista installed; however no Word or Excel programs. You would have to buy the software for that.

Yup, the included software supports keys with modifiers. However, I don't believe complicated macros are possible though.

Usually, yes. However, there are a few things to watch out for. 1.) It needs to be a barcode which the scanner can read. It looks like this scanner can not read 2D barcodes (= dot matrix codes). 2.) Most barcode scanners can be programmed to add into (or drop from) the "scan-stream" certain prefixes, suffixes, characters, controls, etc. The most common example is to add a "Tab" or a "Line Feed" to the end (= suffix) of the scan-stream. Therefore, if you then would scan a barcode into Excel, with a "TAB" suffix it would write the value into the active cell, and then hop one over to the next cell. With a line-feed suffix it would hop one down. With a suffix "Tab Tab Linefeed", it would hop 2 over & 1 down. 3.) Here & there barcodes can contain unexpected control characters, which Excel can process in very unpredictable ways. This is rare, but if it happens, then open Notepad text editor, scan the barcode there, and see what it reveals, b/c Notepad will not process control chars like Excel sometimes does. 4.) If the Caps-Lock is activated, the scan stream is inverted from all upper case to all lower case, or vice versa, depending on what the initial barcode represents. 5.) Some barcodes on shipping crates contain leading characters like "D" embedded into the date or "Q" embedded into the quantity. These can be manipulated either by reprogramming the scanner, or using some Excel worksheet function, etc. 6.) The user manuals of these barcode scanners are typically a real pain to read &/or understand. Luckily, for simple barcode scanning they are pretty much plug-&-play. Only if you were to modify the scanner's behavior (like adding suffixes, etc) you'd need to understand the user manual. 7.) There are free 3of9 TTF (true type fonts) out there for creating your own scan sheets with Excel. Needs some playing around with, but are really useful once figured out. Hope this helps.

I have Windows 7 & it works fine; however I seldom, if ever, use it preferring, instead, my own Excel database. Perhaps someday I will take the time learn it.
