Access 2007 – how do I get a form to always be ready for input from a barcode scanner?
The form must process the input automatically, so all input must be trapped in one place. If a control looses focus that messes it up

Best answer:

You use the KeyPreview property of the form. Set it to True. This causes the any keypress event in the form to be handled first at the form level and then at the control level. That way you can handle the input no matter what control has focus
