Magnetic Stripe Reader

[Finders_Keepers]

Hi! I'm interested in using Magnetic Stripe Reader as an
automatic input for my system. How can I incorporate the
machine to my system? Can anyone help me please? Or show
me how?

Thanks!

Usually you need a "software wedge" to interface the reader to Access
via as Serial Port to communicate with Access.
The manufacturer of the reader should be able to recommend a software
wedge that is compatable with their reader.

Here are a couple of them. I cannot vouch for how good they are.
