It is. Open the database using Excel - it's an ODBC link. The password
is in the .ini file that Tesco use.

The barcodes are in there - but only for items that you've scanned in,
using the tesco scanner. I have a feeling that adding the data in to the
correct table, and then using the software might cause the tesco
software to go and fetch the details, but I haven't been sufficiently
motivated to do that yet.
