    Scanbarcode() function is no longer supported 😞 which has made things hard for the auto scanner, I had to get round it by using barcode scanner with the visibility set to false, it still not working as well as the original.

    Have a barcode scanning app for equipment tracking.  Scanning to multiple text input fields but cannot get text input field to reset.  I.e. when I come back into the screen, the previous barcode remains in place.  I am not using a form but I am patching Data to SQL table.  Any help on resetting text input field.         Default = BarcodeScanner1
