hi im just a noob here and im currently working on a thesis which is about how can we input a fingerprint scanner device to a log in system. Current programming language that we're using is a vb6 thanks for those who will read my post

It will all depend on how the specific device works. Get one that can give output over RS-232 and VB can handle it.

Every embedded device like that works in a specific way, there is no standard. You have to read the data sheet of the device you have selected.

As for collecting info from RS-232 / the COM ports through VB6: check the documentation for "common controls".

thats the dll file right?
If your talking about the documentation, i read the manual of the device. It only showed me how to install the free software and yes a guide for installing the device.the problem is, we tried using some free biometric programs n the net but they dont read the device. what seems to be the problem?


thanks for reading this im really sorry if I am a noob at this thing.
