We have a VB app that we need to run via Terminal Services on a Windows Server 2003 machine.

One part of the software uses a Barcode Reader that is attached to the clients serial port. The client is a Windows XP machine and i've checked all the 'use local devices' boxes in the options.

When I log on to TS, I can see all my local drives and printers but the program fails to register that anything is happening via the serial port when I try to scan a barcode!

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Clegg
