Thanks for your suggestions, we don't really want to deploy the .NET framework just for a door controller (anyway, I have no experience with it and need to replace the existing system fast) and we don't have CFEXECUTE turned on our server (security reasons), so I was wondering if anybody knows of a I/O device that comes with a COM object? We have an electronic shop and they'll be able to adapt any device to open the doors, I just need something I can use with CF. Last resort, we could use the serial port and have CF "print" to a decoder, but then I would not be able to read the status of the doors, which is acceptable but bot ideal. Thanks again for your help,
