How would I print a barcode that would represent the keystroke Alt-Q? I have a barcode font of Code128 and would like scan a barcode that would send the keystroke Alt-Q to the PC.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I think I know what you are trying to achieve, and the easier way to go with this would be to program you barcode scanner or the software for you scanner to do a "Pre Amble"
The pre amble would be Alt-Q

I cant use a pre-amble or post amble. Here is why. What I have is a form that I am inputing data from one of 3 reports that were printed with barcodes. There is a main form with 3 tabs each with a subform. After scanning a barcode (order number) I want to scan a second barcode to move focus from the main form order number to the a specific sub-form and a specific control on the subform. Each report would have a different barcode to move focus to the appropriate subform and control. Alt-A, Alt-K, and Alt-Q. Thanks for the idea though. Any idea if what I want to do is possible?

thanks again,
