The barcode readers are keyboard wedge readers In layman's terms the plug in between the keyboard and the computer Then I created a unique id and printed the barcode on each badge The end user has no idea what the id is.
I then used single input form page with <input type=password> and most barcode reader can be set to send a CRLF with the data. That CRLF activates the submit button.

Hey, sounds like a good idea! Assuming this wasa web application, how do you get the barcodes to turn into login info in the browser?

In one setting, we used 99$ barcode readers on all workstations, this solved several issues, like ID and Inventory control. We created id cards with barcodes on them and tied it to there time sheet ;) Didn't take them long to start using the barcode without thinking about it. Then we were able to ask for a quick login in key parts of the application, and the employees just grab the barcode without a hiccup. It also allowed for the employees to move from workstation to workstation. ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text/US ASCII email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe witango-talk in the message body
