in general terms any peripheral device is/can be viewed the same as a keyboard
assuming the cursor is in the correct field - a peripheral device can enter
the text...
of course there are many many differing flavors of peripheral devices; you
will want to research with the device maker. To Access - it doesn't know
that it is not the keyboard making the entry....
You'll need to contact the card reader vendor and ask them if an
interface cable/device exists for connection to the PC as well as an
SDK.
NOTE: You will also have to follow very strict rules about data
retention. Enough so that you won't be able to store the data in
Access. You'll have to use SQL Server or other secure mechanism.
Some data you have to destroy after a few days. Etc, etc, etc.
