I would love to find out more about this filemaker coding. I don't see anything on your website about this scanning capability. Will it work with data bases running on FMP12?
how did you write the script to open the other app?
does it scan serial number barcodes too?
Hello Greg. Thank you for posting this information. What if I wanted Filemaker Go to plug the number of a barcode scanned into a simple number field. (Basically for inventory control of multiple rooms — each set up with the same equipment but different codes.)
Hi Greg wondering if you could email me the filemaker file so I can figure out how to do this myself?
Exactly what i was looking for, I'm building a FM checkout, with stock control, and FM Go for checking in new items, or getting info on a item in the shelf. Thank you!
I'm going to try this asap 🙂
@zillomab Thanks for the feedback.
Hey, thank you! I was wondering why there was no Bar Scanning solution in Bento and Filemaker Go.
