You'll need to check the documentation for the cash register system. There is no single standard for doing this. If it is atached to a serial port on the PC, you can read and write stuff to the COM port using an ActiveX Control like the MSCOMM32 control distribued with VFP or a commercial communications library. The vendor should be able to tell you how to configure the port and what codes need to be sent.
