Forms :: Text Box With Barcode Scanner
Apr 11, 2013
This question is related to a restaurant POS system design. Is there a way to allow a text field in a form to be filled by a scanner only, unless an event is triggered? Rather than using a magnetic strip ones for gift cards, we're thinking of using the bar code version. However, to prevent employees from fraudulently entering the six digit code, the code must be inputted by a scanner. We do also would like to allow user input with keyboard in case scanner malfunctioning, but would require a "manager" login first.

I am creating a inventory database for work. I am trying to get the cursor to jump to the next text box for data entry using a barcode scanner. I have a limit on how many characters there can be in this field but yet even after it is all filled the cursor stays in that same field. I am fairly new to access, especially in code building. Do I use "After Update" under "Event" in the "Property Sheet"?

Still working on an meeting registration app in Access. I have a Main menu which contains buttons that allow search by Name, Phone Number, or Account Number. We are using barcode scanners if they have a registration card.
Currently I have an account button which pops up a query prompt window and when they scan the code it fills the prompt with their account number and a carriage return, pulling up an account registration form with their info.
What I would like to do is from the main form, if a barcode is scanned, to automatically lauch the account form passing the scanned account number.

OK... Did some searching and posted one question on forms... But still have one important question that has not been answered. First let me say I want to use a scanner connected via USB. ( I need to be able to use this app on a laptop, so keyboard wedge is not possible) Found a quote on a site "TalTech"... Something like that...... This one..
"1) Keyboard Wedge output or USB output
If your bar code scanner has Keyboard Wedge output or USB output you will not need special data collection software. Both these outputs will dump the data right into the foreground application on your PC wherever the cursor is flashing, as if it were being typed in. You do not usually get much control except for the addition of a trailing keystroke, such as an ENTER key, to your data. But these methods are very simple and work fine for many people."
Question is...... Is this true??? Will the USB input directly to the field I want it to?? I just need someone with some experience in this to let me know for sure.
Thanks
Curtis

I have created a form that I would like to search for a barcode by using a scanner as an input device. Does anyone know how to go about doing this?
The form basically holds a subform of textboxes that have barcodes. I want the user to be able to scan a barcode which will then find that barcode in the subform and assign it with a DateOut = Date() ...

Didn't know where to post this one...... But forms seemed logical..... I am doing some experimenting with using a barcodes. I can create them now, no problem. My next step is using a scanner to input to a textbox...... Problem isn't with the forms..... But more with the scanners. I thought if someone has done one of these DB's they might know.
So........ I need a cheap scanner to test with.... Found a few on Ebay. The cheapest being a Symbol- "Hotshot" LS2100-I000.Says it has "DB9" plug. The ebay ad says "comes with NO software". Only thing I am wondering about are drivers. I've read in a couple places claims that this scanner "Needs NO drivers"
So my question is.... Would this scanner work with Access on a Windows XP system? No drivers needed?
Hope this question isn't too "off the subject" But I am dealing with Access and hoping someone has done this.
Thanks
Curtis

I want to be able to put a barcode in a field that when a reader scans the barcode it records the current time. Need it for access control to record who is in and out of the office. Reading other threads I understand it may be possible in Dlookup.

I am using a barcode font in order to generate a number as a barcode on my report records. In order for my barcode scanner to read the barcode it needs an asterisk at the beginning and at the end.
So, if my record ID is 62 - in order for the barcode to be displayed correctly, it needs to be on the report as *62* .
Without digressing into a discussion on barcode methods in Access, how can I precede and succeed each ID number field with an asterisks?

I have a table which contains 2 fields. UserID and FullName..Each employee is assigned a barcode (UserID) and what I would like is when they scan their barcode into the form their name comes up. There is a second table containing records of documents and I am hoping that this form will allow an employee to scan their ID, their name comes up, scan a document and the title of the document comes up, there would be a current date box and then that whole transaction is saved as a record in another table. Long story short I want to know who is accessing what records and to have it logged.

I'm working on a project that uses a barcode scanner. The user will scan a barcode which will choose an item from a combo box. The result of what it enters will populate a text box. I have that part working fine.
The next step is to get it to open a form based on the value in the textbox. The textbox will have about 7 different possible values and each one should open a different form.
The way this is supposed to work:
User approaches a machine and scans the barcode. He is presented with a form giving him options based on the type of equipment the machine is. A compressor for example would present him with a set of options for compressors (gauge readings, maintanence, etc).
I have an unbound form with two controls:
cboAssetNumber
txtType
How to code this and which events to code it in. Users will be going from machine to machine and using the form over and over again so I need to somehow manage the clearing of the form to begin again with another barcode scan.
I saw another thread about a barcode scanner and one response was to program the scanner to send the barcode and then send an "Enter" press to move focus to the next control. I've looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find if that is possible. Right now it sends the number and that's it. It's a "Motion" Tablet.

Hi All
I am wanting to use a barcode scanner to input data into a field and bring up details based on the barcode. This is simple enough as long as the field you want to scan into has focus. Is there a method which will automatically populate the correct field with the scanned data no matter where I am on the form.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I am trying to use a barcode reader with an Access database. The raw data is a linked table to a Crystal Report Excel dump that is updated daily. My problem, the raw data “Asset Tag” field is numbers only. The barcode has the needed numbers but is preceded by “PC”.
Example:
Raw data Asset Tag “12064621”
Barcode Asset Tag ”PC12064621”
Is there a way to remove the “PC” from the scanned “lookup” field?
Objective:
Scan the barcode tag into the form, bringing up all related information on that Asset.

Hi,
One of users of supermarket is running my db successfully since long. But due to the change of time & his progress in business, he expanded his supermarket and it is becoming difficult to use the keyboard to enter the digits for the price.
Hence he asked me to make db able to read barcode on the items so the transaction would take very little time.
To be frank, I do not have any experience about barcode reader how to implement it with Access db.
What kind of barcode readers are available that would EASILY set with Access db? R They really work with Access db? What steps I need to carry out to implement it?
Please advice if anyone of you has any idea in this regard.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Hi,
I am using the downloaded "IDAutomation code 39" font recommended in this forum. It works great on laser quality reports and the scanner reads the codes fine.
But when I try to print to a Zebra TLP2844, the labels are intermittently faint, and not readable by the scanner. The whole label's quality is very sub standard.
I have been reading about the Printer and someone else suggested that I need a template stored in the printer and feed in the data to this template??
Has anyone had any experience with this type of printer / problem??
Many thanks

Hello,
I have a problem printing barcodes; my reader will not detect the printed barcode. Others work and I do not usually have a problem but here I go.
I have a simply table with fields ‘Room’ and ‘Shelf’, then I have a form that print these for scanning. Once scanned we have a program that uploads the barcodes and puts them into the separate Room and Shelf fields within our database.
Here are the examples of code I have been trying to be able to capture the barcodes:
="*"+([Shelf!Room]+shelf([Shelf!Shelf]))+"*"
="*"+([Shelf!Room]& shelf([Shelf!Shelf]))+"*"
="*" & [Shelf!Room]+shelf([Shelf!Shelf]) & "*"
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
