Hi Terry,

As VFP is unaware of 'tracks', my guess is you are dropping the data somewhere in your code. Try http://www.levelextreme.com/wconnect/wc.dll?FournierTransformation~?2,2,1154 for a quick test form that should work with minor adjustments for your hardware. Let us know the result.

>I am trying to scan a driver's license to place name and address into my application. I purchased a CardComm scanner that works well with the demo VB application they sent with the device. The device scans 3 different tracks.

I have been able to get the scanner to work in VFP -- somewhat -- in that it will scan parts of track 3 most of the time, but will not scan track 1 or 2. I am not sure why it captures three or four characters sometimes and 15-20 characters other times. It is simply not consistent.
