Did the reader come with any software, possibly called a Wedge? That's usually the name of the software that sends the data to the PC as a keyboard would.

I have a need to capture the data from a USB connected magentic stripe card reader into our web-based app. The reader came with its own desktop-app to interact with the reader but I need to get the data into our web forms. As far as I know, there's no way to have CF capture the data directly since its on the users local machine. Will I have to resort to Java or the dreaded .NET? Any ideas or anyone have any previous experience with this? P.S. Am I the only one that has all of a sudden stopped getting the CF-Talk emails? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:248253 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
