We are using UPC with check digit (12 char.). Is there an easy way after scanning a barcode to have the focus jump to the next line (record)? Currently we scan then hit enter, scan then hit enter etc.etc. We would like to do away with the hitting the enter key. Thanks
That’s quite easy after a few tries… if there are always 12 chars/digits codes, you just need to do as follows: 1) Set the Next Control property of the textbox to the number of the control where you’re wanting to go after that control. 2) Set the autoenter property to True. 3) Take your laser gun and start killing those nasty barcodes as a jedi knight

All the barcode scanners I have used can be configured to send a carriage return or a tab or something after the barcode. Check the documentation that came with it. That will then work on any field with any length of barcode. Cheers John
