>I did a little more research and found that they've got a newer version of the control that's MUCH nicer (actually, a whole different version). The new version works just fine, so I think I'm going to go that route (unfortunately that means replacing a bunch of code that's written already). However, I'd much rather have code that works all the time instead of just most of the time ;-)

Did they write the new control specifically to work with VFP. We had a discussion about another company that added a VFP activieX to their SDKs. If your MAG reader control was specifically retooled to work with VFP, Ken Levy might be interested in using this story in a case study.

At anyrate - it's always good to get those little pieces of the project to work. Great way to start a weekend!:-)
