Check out www.biometricaccess.com. I used their SecureTouch product in VFP when I was working on a POS product. Unfortunately, at that time, the speed of retrieving a fingerprint and authenticating it didn't meet with the customer's requirements. They probably have enhanced those capabilities since then (1998).

HTH.
