Re: Forms and Bar code

There are several possible ways to accomplish what you need to do. One possibility would be to see if your bar code scanner can be programmed in any way to either parse the data into the three fields and insert a tab keystroke between the fields or possibly translate the spaces in your data to tab keys.
Another apporach would be to rewrite the code in your form so that it checks the data that it receives possibly looking for a certain number of characters. If all three fields have been entered into a single field then you could have code in the form that would split the data up and put the seperate data items into seperate fields in the form.

If your bar code scanners have an RS232 output then you could also use a product called WinWedge from TAL Technologies, Inc. to input the data with the correct parsing. For more information on the WinWedge product visit http://www.taltech.com
