Generate unique barcode to unique ID

I am looking voor a database software tool which automatically
generates unique barcodes to each contact. I should be able to manage the
contacts by reading the barcode. The tools will be used to manage exhibitors
and visitors of a trade fair.

I am looking for soft- and hardware which could do the following :
- Manual input of exhibitors [database]

- Manual input of visitors [database]

- Export all visitor addresses and linked barcodes to a file in a
format that the printer can use to print the invitations.

- Generate an unique barcode per contact [contacts are sent an
invitation for a trade fair which contains their address and a unique
barcode]

- Barcode reading [after the fair, all used invitations are scanned.
I can then see whom visited the fair]

Any help would very much be appreciated.

A barcode in Windows is just a font. If you create a table with a Primary Key
and you display or print that value using a bar code font then you have a unique
bar code per record.

The easiest bar code scanners plug into your keyboard port and as far as Windows
is concerned the input is indistinguishab le from a user typing on the keyboard.

You might want to do a google search on trade show/exhibit software.
Here's a hit I got http://www.traqit.com/products.aspx. You can always
call the companies you find and see how close they are to your
requirements. Maybe some mods can be made for you.

My application is to capture employee locations. Whenever an employee arrives at a location (whether it is arriving for work, or at one of the company's other sites) they scan the barcode on their employee badge. This writes a record to the tblTSCollected table (DDL and dummy data below). The application needs to be able to display to staff in a control room the CURRENT location of each employee.
