Point of Sale "Duane" <skydiver4[ at ]comcast.net> 12/23/2008 12:08:18 PM Hello, I know this is not the correct forum for this question, but I am not sure where to go to find the answer. I am hoping someone can give me some direction. I am basically looking for any information on how to use Access in a Point of Sale application, primarily the request for payment portion of a transaction. I have developed small applications using bar code readers for inventory purposes, and the use of touch screen monitors. I would like to incorporate the use of credit card processing. There is little information or I am not finding the information on how to initiate the process. I am hoping someone can give me some direction or advice (books or newsgroups) that will help me learn about this. Thanks in advance.

Re: Point of Sale "Arvin Meyer [MVP]" <arvinm[ at ]mvps.invalid> 12/25/2008 4:11:54 AM Typically, you need to contact a bank or service which runs the credit card transactions. They will provide the card reader and possibly some sample code. For you own security reasons, it is better that you do not actually store any part of the transaction in your system, other than the name and what is ordered. Let the card processor handle the transaction and report a successful transaction code back to you. That limits your liability in case the identity of the person is compromised. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Duane" <skydiver4[ at ]comcast.net> wrote in message news:u66Bj3CZJHA.412[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
