using a barcode scanner

[RevJohnny]

Yep, I'm a newb.

I have a Symbol long range barcode scanner. Works great. I need to drop this in access and have it update as input (without hitting enter every time). I am reading barcodes with serial numbers and part numbers.

Anybody got anything to help?? Pweeease?

Thanks in advance!

Fire the AfterUpdate event of your input box to perform the "enter key" operation.

Hope that helps.

OK....how does one do that? *points at the "newb" part of the previous post*

What model scanner? Is it connected with a keyboard wedge?

I believe almost all scanners are configurable to add a Cr or CrLf at the end of the scan.

Hmmmm....

Any chance you would want to share this db
It sounds intrigueing. We use EAN-128 and UPC-A
barcodes. (Edit mode for any needed modifications)
