eBase is a good DB for data capture but it will not activate the wand so
that you can read bar codes but FilePad does.

As far as I can tell, unless the wand is explicitly activated (so that the
scanning LED is visible at the tip) by some piece of software that can
communicate wth it, it wont work.
