    Using Bar Code Scanner with Data View table

    I am using a bar-code scanner to enter information to an MS Access form all the time. The scanner is programmed to tab to the next field after reading the bar-code and works great on forms in a single form view. But when I using the same scanner to input to a form that has a subform with a data view table it will not tab after scanning. In fact you don't see the scanned entry until you manual click in the next field and then it shows.

    I have the field set to autotab and as I mentioned the scanner is programmed to tab. Any help would be appreciated.

    Re: Using Bar Code Scanner with Data View table

    On the basis that a barcode scanner is effectively just automating keyboard entries - do you get the same result from keying in the entries into the sub form?
