Barcode scanning

[valheru]

Hi All

I am wanting to use a barcode scanner to input data into a field and bring up details based on the barcode. This is simple enough as long as the field you want to scan into has focus. Is there a method which will automatically populate the correct field with the scanned data no matter where I am on the form.

Thanks in advance.

You could just use the "setfocus" property?? Changing the focus to the right field...

I have no clue what the scanning "code" (if any) does... so my suggestion is but a stab in the dark.

As far as I understand it most barcode scanners input the same as the keyboard so you would need to set the focus to the required field when you start scanning.
