Hi

I am new to this forum. I am interested in using a magnetic card reader to enter member details into my database. Has anyone had any experience with doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Jason
 
There are a number of threads concerning Bar code Readers perhaps one of them will give you some pointers.
 
Hi JBB

Thanks for the reply. I have been doing a lot of searching on the subject via Google. From what I understand using a magnetic card reader is no different to using a keyboard. The card produces a string which I need to extract information from. I can use the built in functions left mid right and InStr to extract the data using a query. I run into trouble from this point on. How do I get the information into a table? How do I get the text box to press enter?

Kind Regards

Jason
