Your approach is wrong, unfortunately. Just because the scanner is enabled, that does not mean it will fill in a field with something that was scanned. In code, a successful scan triggers a scan event which must be coded for and handled like any other event (buttons, triggers, lists, etc). In other words, I don't see any way for you to enable the address book application without modifying that code (or perhaps trapping field entry code on a system level to accept input directly from the scanner .. what a nightmare that would be).
