Survey Says

[Mike Schwartz-PC Support & Services]

	I've integrated a few different mark-sense card readers directly
into filePro.  I've worked with equipment like Scantron optical readers
(www.scantron.com), where you use a #2 pencil to fill in the dots.  

	I've also worked with the fax-back readers, where you can have
people fax their optical sheets directly back to you.

	Are these the kind of things you're looking for?

	I'd be happy to relate some of my experiences.  All of these methods
require a reasonable level of care by the people filling the responses out.
(It's the old "Do not make any stray marks on these sheets" thing.)
