>I need to do a matching routine in VFP7. Is there a way to set the input speed on a form OR to test the speed that the data in a text box was entered at? I don't think I can detect the input device because this scanner Y's into the keyboard cable and the PC gets both scanned and typed data through the keyboard port.

Have you thought of using a timer for that? Basically, since it's been introduced, this is mostly what I use for such operations.
