Scanning barcodes into a worksheet
Hello everyone I hope you can help if this is even possible.
Is there a way to tell the difference between a key press and a barcode scan, I want to be able to place what the barcode scanner reads into on cell no matter which cell is active, if this is even possible Thanks for your help. |
Scanning barcodes into a worksheet
Using this type of barcode scanner (keyboard wedge), its input is
indistinguishable from normal keyboard input (unless you want to do a lot of complex work, from what I hear). So either ensure its input goes somewhere you can handle, or get a type that connects to a port and deal with its input yourself. Unless you analyse the Target.Value in a Worksheet_Change event, then move/copy to the desired location. NickHK "skid" wrote in message ...
