Mark,
the terminals I spoke of are AS/400 'dumb', green screen type terminals. I know VFP won't drive those terminals but the way they worked with the as/400 and applications written on the AS/400 is functionally what I want to accomplish. - Drive RF bar code readers from VFP or some interface / utility program running on a PC or NT server that can use the tables in an existing warehouse management system.

I appreciate the quick response - let me know if you have any ideas.

thanks
