Java is what used to be called a problem orientated programming language, not because it causes problems, but it is used to solve them.

I don't see anything there that Java shouldn't be able to do if you use enough magic dust and potions, though that doesn't necessarily mean that Java is the best language in which to do each on the list.

I know someone who's doing some Bar Code stuff with VB, I'll ask him as the logic should be the same even if the language is different.

Regards,

Shaun.

What did google tell you? Googling "java tutorials" is a great place to start.

Ah, but it seems I was wasting my time, as the OP already received similar advice in a crossposted thread.
