Garry,

I thought this was going to work.... I finally see what it is doing,
just not sure how to fix this. When the scanner reads the barcode it
populates the textbox and fires a Enter command. So if there is a
message box, the enter is used to get rid of the message box. If
there is no message box then it enters in the field and essentially
goes to the next control. Is there a way to turn off enter?

Thanks,
Jay

Set the barcode scanner action to use the 'Tab' key instead of the
(default) 'Enter' key. (The 'Enter' is set as default action because
most often the scanner is used to populate cells directly)
