How to get the last scanned or entered item lookup code?

I am working on an RMS AddOn that requires me to catch whenever an item is not found in the database and search for it on an external database. Is there a way to do this in a Hook? For now, I am using the RefreshDisplay Hook to catch any change in the display. But I cannot find any variable that hold the last entered ItemLookupCode, even if the item is not found in the database. Any help is appreciated.

You have a big problem. To do what you want, you would essentially have to write your own POS interface. You need to capture the scan *before* RMS decides to throw it away as not found. There are a couple of interface replacement add-ins out there. You might want to check around and see if any thing has the features you want before diving into development.
