Can't get focus to change when using a scanner to enter into a field

[Razor1]

When I scan a barcode to a text box i want it to move to the next tab stop. The scanner is set to append a Carriage Return/Line Feed at the end of the scan.
I know the scanner is set up right because I can scan into a spreadsheet and the cursor advances to the next field.

Scan lengths can be different so I can not base moving the cursor on the length of the field..

Thanks in advance for any help provided.

You shouldn't rely on Spreadsheets to help determine the functionality of a Textbox. A good program to test barcode scanning is Notepad.

If you need to advance to the next Tab Stop, Carriage Return/Line Feed is not going to do it. A TAB is required. You will need to reconfigure to append a TAB rather than the Carriage Return/Line Feed. You could get away with it - IF your app is listening for the Carriage Return/Line Feed and process the action when it detects it.
