    Move to next field command...

    I have an Access 2003 database that our employees use to check in or out equipment. Currently, when you check a device in or out, you must do the following: Scan the associates' barcode, Press Enter, Scan the RF device's barcode, Press Enter and then Press Enter again for the transaction to record. What I want is a way to eliminate the first two instances of pressing the Enter key. I want it to be automatic to move to the next field but can't figure out how to do it... I tried by adding a Check Digit to each of the two barcodes scanned but that didn't work. . .

    The scanners I've used have either by default or available settings been able to send a tab or carriage return after the bar code. I use the after update event of the target textbox for whatever code I want to run, and focus naturally moves to the next at the end. Check and see if yours will do that.
