Actions based on length of control

[mckenneyj]

Building a small barcode scanning database
User Scans barcode into text box control on form
Length of complete scan is always 9
I need the control to automatically:
1 sense when it is at 9 characters in length
2 auto save the record at that point
3 blank the control (Null)
4 move to new record
5 wait for next scan

There should be know interaction with keybord or mouse
This is a continuous scaning senario

You may play with the AutoTab property of the TextBox control in a continuous form.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Autotab worked great when setting the input mask to 999999999
