Hey thanks for all the replies... the finger print scanner is actually alot more convient than anything else.... for $38 it's became pretty addictive... now i don't have to type all those long server passwords anymore.. LOL... i am way too lazy!!!
I actually bought this thing to integrate a quick time clock into our extranet system... all i need the thing to do is pass some scrambled code based on the user's finger print into a text field and I could then tie it to a user account on setup... I will be calling DigitalPersona, the company who actually makes this thing... but their website comes right out and says they don't support the microsoft one.. go figure.. but they do have a couple other models that I may consider getting for the project.. what really needs to happen is someone start a source forge project that authenticates finger prints using MySQL and Java... with a PHP front end for user authentication.. someone mentioned using the PHP functions to call the COM object... guess I have do some reading ;o) Cheers Joe Cheers!
