I would expect the scanner to retain its configuration once set.

Emmitt, Steve and Steve, Yep, you fellows just brought this back to me. Some 15 or perhaps more years ago, when I was employed I had a similar situation, but due to the aging process I had forgotten all about it. By the way, at that time I was using one of the earlier versions of R:Base, perhaps ver 3 or 4 or somewhere around that. Now, (using the fabulous eXtreme 9.) I will have to download and print the Symbol Scanner documents. and setup the user to initially prime the scanner at the beginning of the day. That should not be a problem. Thank you for your input and your guiding me into the right direction.... I am using a Symbol LS2208 USB scanner.

Using a barcode reader as input. Currently using the Dialog command in an EEP to receive the barcode read data. But, find that one has to select whether to accept or cancel this input via a keyboard entry. The cancel is not needed. Is it possible to continue once the barcode is read and accepted by the Dialog command (without having to provide a keyboard entry to fulfill the Dialog Option Button Ok)? Or perhaps there is another command that could be used rather then Dialog to receive the barcode data.. DIALOG 'Scan for Barcode: (Blank For Accession Number)' + vresp vendk 1 + CAPTION 'Signout or Return Book Using Barcode (ESC to Exit)' + ICON QUESTION OPTION |BUTTON OK Thanks, Ken
