WRQ Reflection / Modal Help

Hello,

I am buidling a small application within the Visual Basic Editor of WRQ Reflections used to run an old legacy system.

The legacy system requires a vast amount of data entry. We have identified a way of speeding up the data entry using a series of barcodes to read in the data.

I have built a VB Form using the Editor window to capture the scanned barcodes. The problem I have revolves around 'transmitting' this data to the Session.

When the transmission code executes the data appears not to be pasted into the legacy application. This transmission code is fired when a command button is clicked on the form. However, if I exit the form or end the code everything happens immediately on the form. The data is pasted and works OK.

I need the data to be pasted whilst the Form is open as I continuously need to receive barcodes and transmit. Is there a problem with modal Forms? I don't think it is based around this. I can't seem to find any Refresh code for the session?

Any help would be much appreciated as if I can get this working we can save the department a ton of data entry.

Thankyou.

This is not a Visual Basic forum but Visual Basic for Applications concerned with MS Office applications Excel/Access etc. suggest you post elsewhere.

I have done some related work using SendKeys and API calls using VBA. a big problem is that the code runs too fast to allow time for things to happen on screen (opening menus etc.) so lots of "Wait" lines of code are required to allow this to happen. This never worked 100% due to variable server speeds, but users were happier with the application than without.

Hope this helps.
