You would need to find an RFID reader that has a driver that LabVIEW can use. A virtual com port is common.

You would not typically create the database in LabVIEW. That's a one-time operation that is best with the database program. Finding an item in the database is simply performing a SQL SELECT statement. Do you have the Database Connectivity Toolkit?

In terms of the database, here's a place to get some good information:

When you do, there will be examples you can look at. The operation is pretty simple.

Have you decided on the database and have you installed that? You have numerous options ranging from Jet (MS Access) to much more robust and server based such as MySQL or SQL Server.

You can use ADO to connect to an Excel spreadsheet, but there are restrictions on how the spreadsheet is structured. For detail Google "accessing Excel with ADO".

In your excel spreadsheet create one worksheet to hold your "database" and then use spreadsheet references to access the data elsewhere in the document. In this situation the name of the worksheet becomes the "table" names used in ADO.

Is there a reason you aren't using an actual database like Jet?

If you insist on Excel instead of a real database, you would be better off with the Report Generation Toolkit and ActiveX for Excel.
