Most barcode scanners simulate a keyboard so you should be able to enter the barcode into any field by scanning the code. Some have the option of either simulating an enter key or not.
It is easy to create special screens such as you suggest. You do need a copy of FMP to create such screens as the runtime package does not support layout changes. Both of the above are independent of ebase V1 or v2 decision. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Ziem [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2001 2:41 AM > To: TechRocks Support > Subject: [support] bar codes / data entry is slow > > > Can ebase support the scanning of barcodes? > > Our organization is looking to setup a barcode scanning system to speed up > data entry.
