Hi, you may need a 2D barcode scanner and barcode reading software. The barcode scanner just like a keyboard input the data (scanning the barcodes) and transfer to your PC. The barcode reading software will convert the barcode symbol to data.

Set the code for scanner in the following format:
Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
If e.KeyCode = Keys. Enter Then
TextBox2.Focus()
End If
End Sub

if you are totally new to barcode, then I suggest you to download a PDF417 barcode scanner, which can scan the barcode and output it to data strings. Then you can use some codes to display those data strings in textbox.<Barcodelib>
