Wow! I was really making that too hard. <br />
I tried in notepad as suggested and it worked. Then I tried directly into a textbox on the vb.net program and that worked too. <br />
Many thanks drequinox!

Hi,<br />
I'm using VB.Net 2005/VS2005.<br />
I'm trying to capture a barcode # that gets scanned using a scanner from HandHeld Products. It plugs into a usb port. &nbsp;So, first I need to be able to detect which usb port it is plugged into. Then, I need to capture the data when a scan occurs. &nbsp;What event(s) will I have to capture in order to do this? <br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
