Extract data from barcode of driver license

[Josh1425]

I need a little help.  

I want to create a form that allows me to scan a drivers license barcode and extract the data from a license and put it into fields on a form. Any suggestions?

If you use a barcode scanner that can read the barcode, you can dump the scanned data into a field. 

Essentially, a scanner just interprets the data encoded in the bar code and sends the data to the field (it essentially acts like a keyboard entering in the data). Therefore, if you hook up a scanner, it will scan your barcode into the current field.

You will need to make sure that the data is captured correctly...match the field type to the data you are scanning.

I don't have a lot of experience with complex barcodes (I have used Code39 and other 2D codes), but as long as your scanner can read the codes, you can capture the data.

Hi.

 I just discovered that Caspio offers a Barcode / QR Code Scanner functionality that they can incorporate into your application. Here is the link where you can find it: https://www.caspio.com/services/app-extensions/
