Frank, I also would like to take a look at this. I see a few Access programs around that do this...there are 4 corners that line up the document when you scan it. From what I've seen it is a cumbersome process in Access, and I'm sure there is an easier way. Right now I am sticking to bar codes, but there are some great application needs for OMR. Bob c

I am looking for advice/experience on equipment and how they have handled bring the data into the database. I have someone who is looking to read several hundred Mark cards daily (Mark Cards are the fill in the bubble cards like on SAT's and Surveys) Then they want to compile the data into a database. Ideally it would be nice to find a reader that I could connect to via OBDC and give real time data. The other option seems to be to batch process them out to ASCII and batch upload them to R:Base. Any information/experience/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks -- Frank -- Frank Taylor, Systems Network Administrator -- F.J. O'Hara Corp, Boston, MA -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] - 617-790-3093
