Barcode Reader scanned QR code not directing to website.

Posted on by Graham68 11

Hi All,

I have tried several times now to get the Barcode reader to work.

I can scan a QR code and display the data on an iPhone (iOS 16.5.1) with no problem.

Adding a scan & go button with the on-scan function set as Launch (BarcodeReader2.Value) the app fails to take you to the website. Am I missing something?

Searching the web, I've found very little on getting the BarcodeReader to scan and then open a website.

Thanks, Graham

    Hi Tina,

     

    Thanks that worked !! 

     

    The scanning mode only works with automatic and not select to scan but I can live with that.

    Thanks Tina.
