hi,
i am pulling together a cash register that will allow both bar code product entry and manual key entry.
imagine if you have a tin of beans in front of you, in a small corner shop they would probably type "47" and then hit "Produce". Fairly straight forward as I have the button Produce to act upon my code and update my salestrans.mdb
but,
if you scan the bar code I want the same form to handle both 'real' actions, (i assume that keyboard emulation barcode scanner includes "ENTER" after providing 13 digits)....
Q. in perhaps a long winded way i want to know how to kick off an event based on the "ENTER" key being activiated by the barcode scanner)?
i do not want to have to hit any buttons if i am scanning bar codes.
appreciate any help, i am a bit new to VB.
thanks, s.
