Why are you using an editbox not a textbox? With a textbox you can program the scanner to send CHR(13) at the end of scanned barcode and it will move cursor to the next textbox w/o extra code.

>I'm attempting to use a barcode scanner to fill an editbox. Once filled I would like to shift the focus to another editbox for a second scan. I'm attempting to do this without the operator having to push any keys. The change of focus needs to be delayed for the edit1 to populate completely.

>I believe the code would be placed in the interactive change (edit1) and look something like this

> if thisform.edit1.value > "1000"

> thisform.edit2.focus? =.t.
