Looping Script & Mass Update

[B.Gordon]

OK Gurus... any help would be appreciated. Here is what I need to do...

I have documents that are barcoded and in a filemaker database by barcode number.

I need to track their status (in or out). I can do this on an individual basis but want to make the process automated for bulk check-in and check-out. I don't know where to start on this.

I would like to have some kind of box that the scanned numbers go into (or better still, have the related record found and displayed in a list view) Once all the records are scanned, I would like to call a script that sets their status and either removes them from the list or marks them updated.

Any ideas on the best way to do this?

Thanks!
