Hi Dan and all, thank you very much for that link to the database. That will be so helpful because I could only get RedLaser to read the barcodes but I couldn't always get information thank you so much for that information. I was looking for an app that I could use on my iPhone encase I did not have my ID mate summit with me and wanted to scan something thank you again God bless Wren
