Barcode scanning - Help

[CT]

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

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.
