please let me know how to set the function so it knows to read what my bar
code reader is feeding it.
Most bar code readers use a "wedge" connector on the keyboard cable.
Access doesn't make any distinction between a scan and typing; it just
thinks you're typing very fast and accurately.
If you set the focus to a form textbox and scan the barcode, the value
in the barcode will be put into the textbox. Depending on the code,
there may be leading and trailing characters that will need to be
handled.
