Text box issues

I am scanning an 11 digit barcode into a bound text box on a form.
Every so often (1 in a 100) the number that scans into the box is
missing a digit from somewhere in the middle of the barcode. The
scanner is a keyboard wedge, so it is just like typing data in. It is
almost like the focus moves from the text box for just a moment and
then returns. The form is based on a query of a linked table. There
should be no updates happening, however there is a DDE event happening
in the background collecting data from a scale.

I've noticed that if I type a number in slowly everything works ok, but
if I type a number in quickly there is about a 1 second pause before
the delete record and undo buttons become available. Is this because
of the time it takes to create a new record?

Why would the 11 digit barcode drop random digits?
