    Question How to capture input from Magnetic Card Reader?

    In a simple form I need message box to pop up and display magnetic card info whenever I swipe the card, is there any active x control or a way to accomplish that?

    Your assistance is very much appreciated.

    The card reader just provides keyboard input, so I just put focus in a textbox and use its update events to handle the swipe.
