Cheers Ray - I don't know if the reader in my vista machine handles HC cards or not, I just know it to be a multi card reader, but haven't ever used it! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rays Home" <rays-home@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, August 08, 2008 1:06 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Cards and card readers | Andy, know George is on the case, but I can tell you most card readers claim | to handle no end of formats these days, including phone cards. How well | they do this I don't know, but at any rate if you do go the card route then | a reader that can handle the HC cards is best to go for. | | Networking though is a slicker way of doing transfers, and if you can get | your head around setting it up between your machines then you'll have a good | solution. | | Maybe it is easier in Vista, I don't know, but networking seems to be | another black art. I've never come across step by sep instructions that are | really easy to follow. | Cheers, | Ray. | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Subject: [access-uk] Cards and card readers | | | > Hi all - | > | > Need some suggestions about the best way to go with this.
