Have you enabled Full ASCII on the scanner? the fact that your notepad
example does the Tab says you probably do, but just checking.
Some scanners need to be configured first.
Another thing to consider is using the + not the & in your Crystal
Report formula.
My job travelers have this as the formula of a calculated field on a
router:
"*" + {JobAsmbl.JobNum} + "$I*"
Lastly, you may need to cast that calcrunqty as a char, like
cstr(@CalcRunQty)
Hope any of this helps you,
Tony
