    Count text strings in multi-line text box or calculated field

    I am scanning barcodes into a form using a repeating table. The barcode values are being captured and displayed correctly in my SP library. I am then using a query data connection to retrieve those values to display in another view. I have tried using a text field or a calculated value field to display the values with no problems. What I need to do is count the number of barcode entries contained in the text box or the calculated value field. Any suggestions? Thanks, TOE_CHEESE

    Please right click the text box and choose properties and select the Display tab and check the box that says limit the text box to N where N is the number of characters in your bar code. Then, check the box underneath it to move to the next field. This will let you run a rule to automatically fire the query.

    You can auto insert another row in your repeating table using qRules or default values and then set the cursor to jump to that field to support scanning of multiple items at the same time. Email me if you need help with that.
