My questioni is after i scan for the first time you are able to open up a seettings menu in the root folder. There is an argument in there which attributes to opening the external source which happens to be google. I was wondering how I could change that program to open up and paste the barcode into www.fastpricecheck.com. Every way I have done it so far has given me nothing but errors. there is a cab version of this program for windows mobile. Could I have the argument open the program and paste the barcode there? Any help would be appreciated and these two together would make a really cool app for our phones.

Thanks again

Hey, I am one of the developers at FastPriceCheck.com, so I can perhaps help some...I havent looked at the program you are referring to, but if it allows you to forward to any webpage, you want to forward here:
http://www.fastpricecheck.com/GetData/HTML/BARCODE
and replace 'BARCODE' with the actual barcode number...For example, this webaddress:
http://www.fastpricecheck.com/GetData/HTML/043396097742
Will search for barcode 0-43396-09774-2, which happens to be a seinfeld DVD.

We worked hard to try to get a camera capture feature for our software, but couldnt get anything to work reliably (since cameras are so device specific) so we basically gave up. If this works well, please let me know so we can research using it in some way.

EDIT: From looking at the program, it seems this link would make it work maybe?:
