Code help comparing fields

Zones: Access Coding/Macros, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: MS, Access 2000

OK I have multiple questions so I up the points based on my questions. I am not a access/code expert so the easier the better. I created a table called tblscan that ties to a form called frmscan. There are 10 fields in all (5 are called spart1, spart2, 3 and so on. The other 5 are Vpart1, 2, 3, and so on).

What I need to do is scan the first five fields based on a bar code labels that contain a part and serial #. So I will scan 5 different barcode labels in spart 1, 2, 3, 4, and five. I will then scan the same labels in Vpart 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

What I need to happen is if the spart and vpart do not match have a msgbox pop up saying invalid and do not allow them to move to the next field until corrected. Here is my code using spart1 and vpart1 fields. The comparison seems to work but I am still allowed to go to the next field. I can't seem to stay locked in the field that needs to be corrected:

Private Sub Vpart1_AfterUpdate()
If IsNull(Me.Vpart1) Or Me.Vpart1 <> Spart1 Then
MsgBox "Data is missing or incorrect"
Me.Vpart1.SetFocus
Me.Vpart1.BackColor = vbRed
Exit Sub
Else
Me.Vpart1.BackColor = vbWhite
End If

Also as a second part of my question:

What I need to happen is after the last field is verified, I need to trigger an event that will print off a shipping label (created in bartendar) and have the screen or fields clear for the next set of records. I know code wise I can fire of the label via a shell command, but I don't know how to code the part that says print after all spart and vpart fields have been verified fire of that command. I hope I made enough sense.
