Does anyone know how to set up a field (in a form) to automatically accept a bar code (exactly 40 characters)?  I have no problem scanning in the first one, but I need it to auto-enter so I can scan muliple items without having to touch the keyboard.
 
I had the same problem.<br>What I did was the following:<br>I used this  (ALT+0129) in my code to build the<br>barcode. Everytime that you want an enter, you have to place<br>this.<br>I hope it works for you to.<br><br>Bruno<br><br>
 
Yes I have been dealing with this same problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;Last week I found out how to fix this problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;What type of scanner are you using.&nbsp;&nbsp;The best way is to program your scanner.&nbsp;&nbsp;There should be program guides for each scanner that will allow you to either tab or enter after you scan.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
Programming the scanner works and was very easy to do with the book that came with the scanner.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I scanned in a suffix (from the book), which was the ASCII code to TAB (7009). <br>Thanks.
