First san and then I would suggest using a popup prompt to fill the one and only field that needs operater input. It would seem to me that would allow for easier operator use. That way they wouldn't have to decide if and when to put the scanner down to use the keyboard. <div>

I am working on a project that should be quite simple but I believe I am<br>
making it much harder than it has to be. I have created a file that has<br>
basic data for inventory. The concept is that when the empty record is<br>
displayed a barcode will be read and will fill all the fields except the<br>
quantity. The quantity will be entered manually and this record is<br>
saved and you move on to the next record. The only field that the user<br>
would have access to would be quantity. My problem is at what point do<br>
I read the barcode so it can be parsed out to the fields. I realize<br>
this should be simple but for the life of me I cannot seem to wrap my<br>
brain around this. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.<br>
