Tom,
Sorry that I was not more specific.
In fact I have to read data from a electronic chip-card, not reading a magnetic
strip.
I have found some software from www.roadbyte.be that could do the trick.
I have some examples in visual basic and VBA.
e.g. in Access
Private Sub btnReadCard_Click()
'Get RoadByte eID Framework
Dim framework As IRbApplication
Set framework = CreateObject("RoadByte.Application")
framework.Open
'Get card reader
Dim cardreader As IRbCardReader
Set cardreader = framework.ActiveCardReader
'Check if card present
If (cardreader Is Nothing) Then
MsgBox "No card reader found"
ElseIf (cardreader.Status <> csPresent) Then
MsgBox "No card in reader"
Else
Dim cardholder As IRbPerson
Set cardholder = cardreader.card.Holder
'Update fields
Me.FirstName.Value = cardholder.FirstName
Me.LastName.Value = cardholder.LastName
Me.Address.Value = cardholder.Address.StreetAndNumber
Me.PostalCode.Value = cardholder.Address.PostCode
Me.City.Value = cardholder.Address.City
End If
'Always close framework when done
framework.Close
End Sub
Now I have to implement this in R:base.
I suspect that could be possible using DLCALL syntax.
But I am not familiar with this.
grtz

You should be able to scan it into a DB edit field. I use barcodes and a
scanner to do it that way.
