Converting Barcode to description?

Converting Barcode to description?
When I scan a barcode, the computer reads a junk of random numbers ie 1234567890
How do i scan this barcode and assign it to read whatever i tell it to?

eg scanning 1234567890 barcode, then reading it as “Product 1″

is there a program to do this?

Best answer:

You keep the information in a database – item number, item description (price or anything else you wish). Then wheh the scanner reads the number, you look it up in the database and retrieve the information for that product.

Is there a program for this? Not already written, but you could use Access (or MySQL or Open Office Base or an other database) to do it.
