I'm just beginning to use Microsoft Access and i was wondering how do i input
data (which is a barcode reader) onto a database in Access?

It depends on the reader. Most or many of them simply pretend to be
keyboards, in which case all you have to do is to ensure that the right
field on your Form is active before the barcode is read. Sometimes it's
necessary to write VBA code to parse the data from the barcode into the
format you actually need.
