Bar Codes and MES (V8)

Hello,



[Vantage 8.03.304B]



I followed previous posts in this group to create a bar code for the job
traveler that will open the "Start Production Activity" window, enter
the correct information, and close the window.



The formula I am using is: "*%DP%E" + Trim({JobAsmbl.JobNum}) + "$I$I" +
CStr({JobOper.OprSeq},0) + "$I$I$M*"



If one of the buttons on the MES menu are highlighted (active) before I
scan this bar code, everything works out great! However, if the Shift
text box is active, the bar code fails and all I get is a P in the Shift
text box. Any ideas on why it is doing this?



Thanks,

Joe Rojas
