Ryan & Kate:
Thank you for your suggestions.
We downloaded the free 3of9 font and I added the Order to the Pick Slip. You are correct, in that the scanner ignored the bar code because it requires an asterisk both immediately before and after the Order #.
So in the spec editor, we created two separate asterisk texts and I have tried to coax the two text fields as close to the Order # field as possible.
And it is working, sort of.
We have to hold the gun just at a certain point and after a two or three shots it reads the code.
It would be great if Softrak allowed us to enter a formula field in the specs.
What do you think? Is this something we can request and see in the next update?
