Bar code scanner

[Joel]

Hi There,
I am using bar code scanner to keep track my inventory and I am using portal
in one of my file.
My problem is I need to press tab to go to the next row on the portal.
My bar code scanner gives carriage return after it finishes it's scan.
Is there a quick fix to that? or I was thinking is there somewhere in FM
that changes how you move around from field to field using carriage return
instead of tab ?

Thank you

You should be able to change the scanner to send a Tab instead of a
Carriage Return ... unless it's a very cheapo model.

If not, then you could create a script which pauses for the barcode
scanner input. The Carriage Return would then be the same as clicking
on the Continue button and the script could go to the next portal row
and pause again.
