Barcode scanning - Help

I have created a form with a text box named txtpart. There is no problem with the program if users enter data into this text box using a standard keyboard. However if they used a scanner to scan in a barcode and hit the <enter> key on the keyboard, this program terminate itself and returned to window!

I have noticed that after scanning data into this text box, I need to use the mouse to move the hair-line cursor from its leftmost position inside the text box to the position after the last character. If I hit the <enter> key now, my program works fine!

How can I control the cursor movement? I thought the cusror should automatically station itself at the end of the data after each scan??

Private Sub Txtpart_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Chr(KeyAscii)))
If KeyAscii = 13 Then
find_part
End If
End Sub

depends on how you set your scanner
i scan barcodes into textboxes as well
the curser usually stays to the end of the barcode

Thank you for the reply, will try both method suggested above.

I'm curious coz i always wonder how to work with barcodes.
How did you do it is there some special code for that
can you give me some code or send me a place information
where i can gather some information about that.

Thanks! bye.

You know how RadioShack is giving away those barcode scanners? Is this what you guys are talking about? I got one and wrote my own app that translates the code into it's real value, if that's what you want.
