Printin Data from lab equipment

Hello,

I have a piece of lab equipment that I would like to interface with my
database. I have gotten pretty far but I am stuck on something that I
would think is fairly simple.

So far when I hit the print button on the equipment I have gotten it to
send a log to a module which then parses out the value that I need. I
would now like to take that value and print it to whereever the cursor
was when the module started up.

I have designed a continuous form for the result of each sample to go
into. So I would like it write to the selected field and then just tab
over to the next one.

I have other lab equipment doing this but it just all happens
automaically without the use of any modules.

Any help would be greatly appreciated by many.

Thanks,
Jake

Nevermind,

I figured it out. Just by using the SendKeys (Variable) and then
SendKeys "{TAB}' command, it worked great.

Thanks Anyway,
Jake

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
