using MS fingerprint reader with Excel
hello,
i have bought the MS USB fingerprint reader. works fine for login etc but i would like to use it as an authentification tool inside a spreadsheet. e.g we have items in repair going from one worker to another in the factory and instread of having them sign each time i am rtying to have them sign using the fingerprint reader. so, when a worker signs with his finger, his name should appear in a defined worksheet cell. does anyone know how to do this ? many thanks, jabax |

using MS fingerprint reader with Excel
The fingerprint reader should have been packaged with a CD or diskette
with the necessary software drivers. It should also have come with some sort of user's manual that would describe (if it is well-written) how to access the fingerprint data and/or the name of the file where the finger holder's information is kept. Inside of Excel, you would either (a) have to access DLL or API code to retrieve the finger owner's name or (b) have to open some data file with the OPEN statement to manually retrieve this information. I don't think that many of us have connected fingerprint readers directly to Excel so you're going to be our experiment on this one.
