I know i just contacted the vendor to tell me which escape characters to use for sending data on magnetic stripe tracks. I just want the way to send these characters through microsoft access 2003.
Thanks

This would depend on what your printer expects, which is what the SDK would tell you. In many cases with items like your printer, you cannot directly "print" to the printer but must instead use the SDK to send that information. Your vendor should be able to give you sample code to use, although they may not provide this to you for Access .... just use the code for VB6 and you should be able to port that directly.
