You could make a variable form and it should scan the number into it. I use the same principle for barcodes. I had an old keyboard with a reader on it and it would fillin the variable field. I don't think you need to copy it to clipboard. Tom Hart

How can I get the information which is written to the clipboard into a variable. I have tried setting the variable before but it does not write to the variable. Appreciate your assistance.
