Finger Printing Plug In

[ransiki]

Hello Developers

Am trying to figure out how to incorporate a finger printing hardware with my access ID finder. Currently I have a database of roughly 2000 people, and growing. I have purchased a finger print recognition hardware called FingerID to search my database according to what it matches with. The product comes with it's own rudementary database software that matches finger prints. Is there a way to incorporate Finger Print matching with MS access? thanks for any help given..

Conceptually the product stores a set of characteristics that distinguish one
fingerprint from another. Then when it "reads" a new fingerprint, it "remembers"
the set of characteristics of that fingerprint and searches its database for a
matching set. So to do what you want to do, you first need to determine what the
set of characteristics it uses to distinguish unique fingerprints and create
fields in your Access database for those characteristics. Then you need to find
a way to have the product output the set of characteristics when it "reads" a
fingerprint. Once you have this set of characteristics, you can do a typical
Access search using the FindFirst or Seek methods. Probably the product is a
serial device so you also need to research how to communicate with a device
through the serial ports on your computer.
