We successfully string numerous fields together in one barcode which
Allows for one scan to enter data into several fields.
Example:
Job + Assembly + Operation
'*' + TRIM(JobAsmbl.JobNum) + '$I' + asmb + '$I' + '20*'
Aaron Hoyt coaches me through the first ones.
Works well for us.

Subject: Re: Data collection synchronize with Vantage
From our experience with bar codes in 6.1 of Vista with the Data
Collection Module to clock in & out of job, assy, operation - had to
scan each step, not just ONE bar code, as wanted to.
you DON'T save ANY steps with the bar code, as you have to scan in
each tab, enter, next function as a Separate Bar Code. We tried
various ways to link together, but based on the screen (input)
design, were unable to get bar coding to do as it was designed to do
by its' nature - actually save steps, where can scan one or two
items, not 3-5 or more.
Were told that there MAY be a way - with CUSTOMIZATION -- Again, why
can't their software do as they say -- in the Industry Standard Way -
and actually bar code = save steps.
