    Post Barcode Scanner and Excel

    I am in the process of creating a stock inventory for my shop. The basic spreadsheet is working for price quantity if manually entering in the stock. What i'd like to do is to use a "Wasp" USB barcode scanner so that I can automatically enter or subtract the stock by scanning a barcode. I have printed barcodes and using the scanner it does seem to read as it puts the barcode info onto word ok.
    I take it that I need to have a "Front End" where you are asked to scan the barcode to enter the stock item and if it is added of subtracted from the quantity column.
    This is the bit that i'm stuck with and any help would be greatly received.

    See if you can adapt this macro, to be pasted in the sheet's module since it uses event WorkSheet_Change to trigger, to your project. If not, use it as trace.
    I'm assuming that your stock items start from row 6 (headers in row 5) of column A and the quantity for each item is in column H.
    As "Front End" what you also need is two place-holders, one for items to be added and one for items to be subtracted; I have choosen A1 and A2.
    Now all you need to do is position the cursor in the cell for the choosen operation and use your Wasp. If the item is found in the list in column A the macro will preform the operation and add o subtract in column H elsewise you will have feedback.
