I'm using FM15 Advanced on a Mac and need help with building a script that involves using a barcode reader (a TaoTronics TT-BS014).
The script has the following steps:
Go to Field [ Maga::Barcode ]
Enter Find Mode [ Pause: Off ]
If I run this script FM goes in Find mode and position the cursor on the Barcode field, I can use the barcode reader to scan a barcode and enter it in the field and perform find.
I don't need any further step like "Perfom find" because when I press the barcode reader button it scan the code and then is like pressing an "enter" key, because - after the script - I see the found record but I'm in Browse mode (not in Find mode).
My problem is that I wish to perform an action on the found record: I wish to set a field with a custom content (Set Field). But any instruction I insert after the two steps above happen 'while' the find and not after.
E.G.: If I enter as third step
Set Field [ Maga::Status ; "in house" ]
FM add that to my find (and do not find anything), do not perform the command after the find.
Any idea on how to bypass this problem?
Thanks,
- Marco.

Edit, sorry this system is for adding from a barcode reader, but I hope this may help you figure out your needs.
