Barcode Scanner & Excel

[steveny2k]

Hi,
I have a serial Honeywell barcode scanner and would like to know how to scan data directly into an excel spreadsheet.
I am using Excel 2003 and the scanner is serial with no k/b wedge connector.
I have tried everything i could think of with no success.
I can open a hyperlink session and see that whatever is scanned appears in the hyperterminal window so i know my interface works fine.
It's driving me nuts as it's probably an easy fix which i cannot seem to find.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

My understanding is that a scanner is basically a keyboard. If what you scan isn't appearing in Excel it's an issue with the set up of the scanner rather than anything to do with Excel I believe. I've no experience of working with one though so can't be certain.
