Auto enter Barcode in FileMaker

[gullfounder]

Hi,

I am new in FileMaker Pro. I have Keyboard Emulated Bar code Scanner. Here is what i am trying to achieve.

In a layout there is field for bar code. As the Scanner scans the product i want it to be entered in that field automatically and curse move to next row for next item entry. How can make it?

Kindly explain it fully i am New in File Maker.

Thanks

Your scanner should have an option to enter a carriage return, comma, etc after each scan. If you are using list view, you can have a script trigger create a new record after there is a value in the field and it exits the field.

You can also program FM to use a trigger on the field you scan into.

I generally scan into a custom dialogue and use "enter" as my suffix (sometimes you have to program this into the scanner) then the scanner scans and Filemaker runs a script to do what it needs to do.

Thanks a lot. I read the manual of my scanner and it had the option of custom character. So, i enabled it. and it worked fine.
