Hi JM

Thank you for your response. I was getting that error but you are right it was not because of the code! user error! I put in the wrong text box within the code (it should not have been...

Thanks for your time "dbasnett" - getting the group separator code in the output is not an issue (I know that thanks to you guys), what I find is if I want to extract data between two specific...

This is the output from the keydown code - Part 1 (as too many charecters to post all of it here) - please note the same barcode was used.

Thank you for your patience mate... please find below... ps where you see ascii codes 29 / 30 it is bringing the symbol back i.e. ^ & <-> (just doesn't appear when I copy into here.

Before the P there should be a group separator and also before the Q there should be one. When I copy the notepad ++ text into the textbox I get...

Yes that has worked... Shift + CTRL + 6 reads back ascii code 30 (coloured triangle pointing up)
But as above, i got this ascii code when scanning the barcode into textbox1 but not 29 (group...

I have pressed ctrl ] and I get Char:  Ascii code: 29...….. (Char: <-> Ascii code: 29)…… my ^ is on the number 6 key,...

I thought the ASCII characters were achieved by holding alt and typing in the code number? Anyhow, I have logged on and performed the above tests and the results are as follows:

Thank you for your time.

Thank You JM.

I have now performed the testing and I am afraid it is back to square one (as I was with my previous thread) :( here is a summary:

Hi @Niya

How did you get what appears to be a drop down with immediate window and the "debug" value? I have a group of tabs at the bottom, one of which is immediate window but I don't think it's...

Thank you for your responses guys.

@Paul - I don't think there are null charecters, will double check though.
@Niya - Good test and spot, thank you! Will try this and get back to you.

Hi ChrisE, that's great thank you. What I wasn't doing initially was bringing the data into the datagrid, hence why going through the grid and running a sql query at each row. I will check how I...

Had you taken the time out to mate, you would have realised that no one said it was the optimal method! pointless replying to something if you haven't read it all!

Hi "JM"

Sometimes we are placed in a situation where we just want to get the job done rather than think of optimal coding and also not everyone aspires to be a developer and fully learn...
