>Is there any way to accept input from a serial device as if it were keyboard input? I have a serial scanner and would like to fill a field with the data...

Doing this would require a device driver hook to tie the input from the scanner into the keyboard queue, translating characters to scan codes for use by Windows.

The good news is, most barcode/magcard scanners come with a driver that does exactly this.

The bad news is that if it doesn't come with such a driver, I don't know of a generic one that you could use; you'd need to write a driver, which might require that you use the DDK to develop the driver, and that different drivers would be needed for different environments (Win95/WinNT).

I would check with the scanner vendor first.
