"say, can you tell me which barcode reader you've tried this with?"
Sure, its a Datalogic Gryphon. Any reader which uses a Y cable to connect should work however. The only problem I can see with this method is that you have to ensure that the window in which your data is going to be entered has focus. And if the user does something with the mouse or keyboard, those events will be registered as well. So maybe some sort of script is necessary when the Rev application is opened that somehow locks down the input. If its for your own use rather than in a production environment that shouldn't be an issue. The Gryphon is a nice piece of gear. You press the trigger. A light bar shines out of the scanner end. You move the light bar to the bar code, it beeps, a green light appears, and the data appears in the field. Pretty robust and available used quite cheaply. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
