Question Connect/Retrieve Attendance Log of Facial/Biometric Attendance Machine with Ms-Access

[Mohsin Malik]

Hi, I have an Attendance Machine Installed having Face Recognition/ Biometric Function, The Software came with this attendance machine, backend is based in Ms-Access, I want to make some reports according to my requirement, The issue is that i want to connect the machine and retrieve data through My Ms-Access software, Please help me with the code to make a connection so that i can work separately without using the software that came with Attendance machine, I want to retrieve data directly through Ms-Access. Please review the attached database, There is a table named as Machine which contain configurations for the connection of machine like IP Address, Band rate, Connection String, Port etc, I dont know how to connect the machine directly with Ms-Access for retrieving Employees attendance logs, Please help me in making an interface and connection with ms-access. Waiting & thanks

Hey Mohsin
I am having trouble answering that question. First, you did not provide any information about the machine. Type, Manufacturer etc... Without that one can not look up the machine specifications and their API.
Simply "connecting" to a machine is not a difficult task, but the machine might be using various protocolls to access it's data.
So please provide us with this information.

Second you should really try to look at the machines api/website and see what services they provide. Because it is unlikely anyone worked with that specific machine using access. All we can do is google for you.
