the best way you can move to the next field is programming your barcode to
make the enter after beep.

most of barcode readers has option inlcuded on user manual.

if you use a Symbol Ls2208 you can set up by scanning below options.
====================
Carriage Return/Line Feed
SCAN OPTION
<DATA><SUFFIX>
ENTER

================


thanks

A couple of options. As Lorenzo suggests, you may be able to have the scanner
software emit a <Tab> or <Cr><Lf> after the scanned characters; or you may be
able to have Access tab automatically. If the field is of fixed length (likely
for a barcode!) set the table field's length and set the form's Auto Tab
property to Yes.

Depending upon what other code may be running, you may be able to use the
Change event.
