Decrypt cuecat barcode scanner using VB

[Kenneth H. Young]

Does anyone know of a VB project that will decrypt the data output from
the Cuecat barcode scanners that Radio Shack used to give away?

Hi Kenneth,

From your description, I learnt that you would like a VB project to decrypt the data output from the Cuecat
barcode scanners.

As we are not familiar with this third-party product from Radio Shack, we could not provide the VB project to
decrypt the output. So could you provide some code (other than VB) which can decrypt the data so that we
can try to help you convert it to a VB project?

We also performed research and found the following resource, but we are not sure if it is what you expected:

CueCat Barcode Scanner/Decoder:

( Cuecat.zip at the bottom of the page)

Please check it and let us know if it is what you are looking for. Thanks!

Thank you. I will download the sample VB 6 code and see if I can pipe it
over to Access.

Once again thanks.

Kenneth,

Thanks for your update!

The sample VB project is to copy the Barcode Data to Clipboard. As there are no data output I can obtain
from the Cuecat barcode scanners, I cannot perform the further testing to see if it allows you to pipe the data
over to Access.

Based on my experience, you can paste the content from Clipboard to Access table directly, or paste it to a
..txt file and then import the .txt file into Access. (Not 100% sure it will work as I haven't tested it. Just share my
ideas)

Please let us know if this helps resolve your problem.
