Last year I created a form to scan in student ids. That computer has been
"retired", so I need to recreate the form on our new computer -- and for the
life of me, I can't figure out how I did it.
The underlying table has two fields: ID & Date.
The form had just one text box: ID. The students scanned in their id cards,
the number was stored in the table (ID) with a date/time stamp (Date). I can
set that part up with no problem.
But the form was set up to move to a new record after the students scanned
their cards, and that's the part I can't remember how to set up. The
students didn't have to click a button or press enter. They just scanned
their cards, the number got entered, and the form advanced to the new record.
I barely new what I was doing when I created the form last year, have a
little more understanding now, but would appreciate if any help could be
phrased in "Form Coding For Dummies" language.
