How do i get an automatic entry ( from a barcode scanner )

The scanners we use have that as a setup option.

Also how do i bind

in my time field???

What code are you currently using?

if i scan something into excel then it will 'press enter'
not in access tho?

Don't understand that.

I am not using any code? have set
controlsource on my time field to my barcode field, then
set afterupdate =time() ???

You need the Event Property box for AfterUpdate of your barcode field to read "[Event
Procedure]". Then you click on the build button [...] to the right and you will be
taken to the code module for the form and positioned between the lines that define
the event procedure for that particular form event. There you need to have a line of
code like...

Me![NameOfYourTimeField] = Time()
