Bob,

If you have to embed stuff, I'd do it in a string manipulation after input, then shove it through that way.

Years ago, I heard the number at an AIAG conference that an operator makes a key stroke error every 600 key strokes, and 85 % of thos errors are caught. On a code of 39 barcode, there are less that 1 errors in 20,000,000. Gives you something to think about with data integrety <g>
