How to automatically move to next field after Bar/EAN code entry?
Stephen8667 wrote:
Table Columns: EAN Code; Product Name; Order Qty Form Fields: EAN Code as a combo box; Product Name (No Tab stop); Order Qty. Question: The cursor is in the Cbo Box. I am using a Bar Code scanner to read the code from the sales packet which I want to order. The numercal bar code is located from the Cbo Box list and is selected. Using the "After Update" event procedure, the Product Name field then shows the product name related to that code. I would like to then manually enter the number of pieces I want to order into the Order Qty field. The problem is that the cursor remains in the Cbo Box and doesn't move to the next field until I press the enter button. What must I do to get the cursor to move to the Order Qty field once the scanner has read the product code, without having to press enter? Thanks in advance for your reply, Stephen. PS: PLease answer in basic instructions as I'm not an advance user. Just about all scanners can be configured to automatically issue an Enter or Tab keystroke at the end of each scan. If your field is always the same length you might be able to use the AutoTab property of the control. |
