DDE Example: Data from RS232 Barcode Scanner into MS Access

 When application does not support “HOT” DDE Links, CPS Barcode Wedge can act as DDE Client. In this case CPS acts as a DDE client, connects to target application and initiates DDE communication.

 
Typical example is transfer of barcodes into MS Access:
 
-          When the data is received from barcode scanner, CPS Barcode Wedge Software sends notification to MS Access (executes command/macro in MS Access).
-          MS Access establishes DDE communication with CPS Barcode Wedge Software and receives barcodes.
-          Data is processed in MS Access and can be saved to database.
