LibraryThing, mentioned above, recognizes both modified and unmodified CueCats by simply decoding the input if it's seen as being encoded.

Give it a try and let me know how that works. Raewyn, modified cuecats should be supported. Give it a try and let me know how that works.

You can buy cuecats for under $10, where-as most other barcode readers cost $40 or more.

There's probably a setting for your scanner related to either check digits or UPCE. Look in the manual for a way to set it right. Charlie, it sounds like your scanner is leaving off the check digit.

In both cases, the scan omits the final digit (which is printed in smaller type to the right of the main digits). For example, the Oreo 100 Calorie crisps have the barcode 04461704, but scanning the bar code only produces the first 7 digits. Once I entered the final digit, the item was found in the database. Same goes for the Pepsi One; the barcode is 01281309, but the scan omitted the final digit. Greg, I tried the Pepsi One and Nabisco Oreo 100 Calorie Packs again, and now see the problem.
