Forms :: Put Barcode In Field When Reader Scans Barcode / It Records Current Time
Nov 11, 2013I 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.
View 3 Replies View RelatedReports :: Barcode Font - Generate Number As Barcode On Report Records
Jun 8, 2013I 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?
Barcode Reader With Access DB
Dec 9, 2005Hi,
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

Scanning A Barcode Into Access 2003
Jun 6, 2007My client is a baseball league who started a Kids Club which has membership cards that have a barcode and their own specific number to monitor the number of times that the KidsClub members come to the games. They don’t have any software to go with the cards though. They asked me if I could help. I created a simple table in Access to capture the name, address, telephone, email, number of games attended. The cards have a barcode on them, and they would like to be able to scan the card with a USB handheld scanner and have the number of games attended field to be updated by the scan. Each card has its own number that is programmed into the barcode, which could be the primary key for Access. Can you offer any assistance in how to get the scan of the card to update the "number of games attended" field I created based upon the barcode number?

Oct 6, 2013I'm currently developing an MS Access (2010) application and connected a barcode scanner to it for reading barcode information.
Everything seems to work well for what concerns capturing the data into a field, but what I would like to do is to populate a complete form once the barcode has been captured and filled-in in the specific "barcode" field. The data that should be populated in the form comes from different tables.
How to send an enter after the barcode data has been captured? Objective is to read data from a barcode, which after an enter or update automatically populates the data in the form afterwards.
The barcode data is already in the DB.

Barcode Scanning
Mar 25, 2008Hi 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.
Barcode Reader
May 10, 2006Hi 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.

Barcode Printing Problem
Jan 15, 2006Hi,
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

Barcode Query Problem
Mar 13, 2007Hello,
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.
Barcode Reading And Security
Jan 30, 2007Hi Guys,
This might be pretty simple, but I haven't found anything on it (might not have looked hard enough!). What I am trying to do is scan a barcode label that I created in Access, when this is scanned, it goes to a table and opens the record that contains this ID and allows me to enter further data in this record. The further data will be data capture from a balance, which works fine if you select the location where the data is to go (using the mouse), what I need is for this location to be automatically accessed when I scan the barcode, hope that makes sense.
Also, is there any way in Access to either prevent data in a table from being changed once it is entered, or alternatively to mark the data as changed/edited from the original input?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assign A Barcode To A Material
Sep 21, 2006Hi Guys,
I've tried searching the forum to no avail,
I have a table (tblBarcodes) that has two fields, Barcode & Material
The Barcode field is already populated with specific numbers, but what I need to do is when I enter a new material on my form it will assign it a barcode from the tblBarcode and then append the Material code to the that table against the relevant record.
Is this possible?
Thanks again
Barcode Scanner Input Question
Jun 17, 2006OK... 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

Barcode Font With Mail Merge
Jul 13, 2006I am using a special font called Interleaved 2of5. You have to have macros enabled and the font package installed to get this font package to work. I have everything working perfect, I can print reports directly out of Access with the bar code perfect.
Here is my question:
Can anyone figure out how to get this to work in a query?
We have a couple mail merge documents set up in Word and I would like this same bar code to be at the top of the page.
I cannot find a way to get the BarCode to work in a query, only the report. I do not know if this is possible. Here is a sample database that comes with the program.
Im New Here! - Barcode Input/ And Workstation Identifier
Jun 7, 2006hi guys, i am slowly learning access by browsing these forums and using microsoft help and downloading example databases. problem is - i have no formal training in it and am just sort of poking around. how did you guys learn? is there a good book out there to read, or did you take a course in it?
right now i am trying to develop a database of tracking product through a factory. technicians would scan the barcode for a pump before and after every process. i made it a simple table coupled with a form where they input the barcode # and a timestamp was coupled with it. later, youd be able to graph the time stamps so you can see process times, how many are in work in process, etc.
my specific questions are:
when i use the timestamp feature, it updates the time when a new record is brought up, but i want the timestamp to register when they click the add entry button. so far i have the default value =Time() for one, and =Date() for the other ...
next is, i want each workstation with this open to have its own unique identifier. for example, one program in assembly station should automatically input "assembly" for where the record was added in, how is this done?
lastly, i have a barcode scanner that operates like text input, i have an area on the form for the barcode, so when it scans it enters the number. is there a way that once the field gets 8 digits entered into it, it automatically goes to the next field on the form? i would like for users to pull the trigger and not have to hit enter again ...
a big THANK YOU for all you access gurus, i have been browsing these forums learning a lot. i hope i can achieve your level so i can help others as well. Thanks again

Reports :: Adding Barcode To A Report?
Aug 13, 2015 Im trying to add a barcode to a report which I can scan with a barcode scanner. I have downloaded A code39 TrueType font and created a textbox and have put the following in the Data, Control source
Code:
="*" & [Barcode] & "*"
but when I print out the report its only converting the field barcode to a code 39 barcode and leaving "*" at either side of it. I know its not the font as if I open note pad, select the font and enter *1234* all is converted to a scanable barcode.
Forms :: Text Box With Barcode Scanner
Apr 11, 2013This 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.

Jun 15, 2006Didn'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
