How to key focus on a field when using barcode reader

I am working on a project where I would like the operator  to scan a barcode to input data into several fields.  If I enable the USB for HID Device I can get the barcode to scan into a field, but only when I first touch that field to open the on-screen keyboard (and oddly enough I have to press a key on the keyboard before the scanner will fill in the field).  I am wanting the operator to be able to initiate these inputs without touching the screen first. 

I have logic written using the COM Rx function, followed by Copy Buffer to Tag.  When online, I can see the scanned data in the buffer field, but no data is filling in the desired field.  I'm not sure if I need to somehow key focus onto the field I want.  Also, after the first scan I would like to be able to automatically focus on the next field where the buffer will be copied to.  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
