Newbies James Stock Posted October 18, 2007 Newbies Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have a USB Bar Code Scanner interfaced to my Mac for data entry. First a scan of an id bar code is made. Then the operator has to tab, return or enter using the keyboard to advance to the next field wherein the scanner scans the chemical or supply being checked out. I am trying to find a way that FileMakerPro will automatically advance to the next field once the data is entered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenton Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 You should contact the company that made the scanner and see if it supports a modifiable "post-amble" character. I thought most of them did a return (which is not exactly the same as an Enter key on Macs, but usually works, at least in a dialog box; I find a dialog box to be a good mechanism for this, visual, modal, easy to continue).
