Go back to my reply that begins "As Ken mentioned..." You will find your
solution there. Make sure you have a table as Ken suggested and then build
the form etc as I suggested. Any other attempt to use a form bound to your
student table will just result in failure and cause me to get upset and
possibly not respond.

I want to do both but right now I have a form that if I put an ID
number in the ID Scan textbox it just moves the information in all the
other textboxes to the next student in the table? I thought we could
fix that first then work on saving the information or does it involve
doing both to get the results I am looking for in the form?

Or, do you simply want to scan the card and display the student
information
on the screen? When the next student gets scanned, the previous student
information is not viewable and not saved anywhere.
