>The other 3 worked like a charm. The user hits the button, the UPC code pops into the appropriate textbox and the valid code fires. The end-user loves it and the guy in the warehouse says it's easier than the RF scanner -reader they were using earlier. We picked the one the warehouse-guy liked best and sent the others back.

One of my project involves a scanner in the components. It's a scanner with memory which at the end of the day or after a shift, the user is going to a workstation and download the data in an ASCII file using a software from the manufacturer of the scanner. Then, he will switch to Visual FoxPro and choose the Import option to bring the data into the master files.

The manufacturer of the scanner told us that it might be possible to do our own Import function directly from Visual FoxPro and avoid the first step. I guess this will involve using low level file function like FOPEN('COM1:') or something like that.
