Scanners

I am using a Metrologic scanner (in it's cradle) to enter data into an access form. This works fine but when the user is pulling away the page with the barcode sometimes other barcodes are scanned and this causes the form to shut down. Any idea why or how do I stop it from doing this.

I would guess you would have to get the person who made the access program to only allow the first entry and ignore all further entries until a new form is opened.

Make sure you have the latest drivers and patches for the software involved.

i changed the delay on the scanner and that sorted out the problem.
Thanks
