I'm sorta new with access when it comes to the programming side of things. From the user side though I'm familiar, so I know what I need done, but am unsure as to how to do it.
Basically what I have is a barcode system setup that when somebody mails a donation to us, I can scan the code and it brings their record up. What I'd like, in order to automate the process, is to create a simple button that fills in the amount sent in (it is 9 times out of 10 the same as the amount requested; this dollar amount is already input on another box in the record, basically need this copied to the "amount paid" box on click of button), as well as the current date needs to be added into a separate Date box. The final thing is we have a checkbox for "collected" that needs to be checked with this button.
How could I go about filling out these two boxes and checking my checkbox with a single button press? This way all we need to do is scan the scanner which brings up the record, then click the button to fill the forms, and move right into the next one.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
