need to find a cost effective inventory system

I am look to find information regarding barcode scanners and the
programs to upload to a database. I want to be able to scan an item
and see if it is in inventory. I also need to checkin items and print
part numbe, location and $$ on labels.
I have access and I can make my inventory but I can not seem to have
the scanner input to search the database. Is that done with a query I
setup? I am very much a newbie. I am reading a book on Access but it
does not get into details. I dont need anything fancy just basic
inventory updates and inventory searches.

Sorry for the poorly writen message.

Any direction would be apreciated.

RVB Systems Group has an Access based system called Track'Em that
would work for you. It's priced at $395 with a corded USB scanner or
$895 with a portable scanner. You can download a demo at
http://www.barcode-solutions.com/trackem.html

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
