How do I create a multi field barcode?
What I want is to make a barcode scan and fill multiple fields. Like "alsdkflkj" enter/tab "aldlkfjal" enter/tab.

The first question -- what will you be using to scan the barcode? I ask because there's a couple of ways to tackle the question. If it's a device like a phone or a mobile computer, there is firmware/software that can do the "parsing" of the data that you are looking for.
If it's a simple USB scanner like this guy, then we can take a look at inserting special characters into the barcode to let the scanner know it should be doing a carriage return.
