Hi - new to forum.
Has anyone written VFP code to encode a character string onto a mag card track
(like a Gift Card ID number)
My encoders have a static IP address.
TIA

I write out a dbf the use the manufactures software to connect via ODBC. I use their card designer.
Depending on the package you may be able to call it from FoxPro, via API or Command Line.

I don't really know too much about mag stripe writers but, like any piece of hardware they must expose a communications interface that a program can send data into.
That interface is probably exposed through a COM component and you should be able to control it directly from VFP - but without knowing, or having access to the documentation for the hardware there is little more anyone can tell you about the details - because it will be certainly be hardware specific.
