We were thinking web app because then we wouldn't have to outsource some sort of Windows Programmer... But right now, we are just prototyping things out and exploring our options. I appreciate your reassurance that barcode reading isn't as mammoth an idea as one might think it to be.
AIR is an interesting possibility. What we also need to do is make sure that we have a "locked down" system. We cannot have people CTRL-ALT-DELETE'ing out of the application and messing with the standard OS.

I should think any old barcode reader will work fine. Once the barcode is read at the kiosk, it will just be sending regular data across the network to CF. If the Flex one is easy to use/configure then it should work fine. I presume since you are looking at Flex this will be a web app that the user is interacting with? Maybe this would be a good app to use AIR or something desktop oriented? -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
