Actually I didn´t write an interface. I´m using a very elaborate workaround using IIS and the COM object for Housebot. Touchatag opens a webpage that sends the appropriate values to Housebot. It works, but it is cludgy. There is an app for touchatag that can execute a commandline but it doesn´t work...

The fact that your code says "Power Stae" has nothing to do with it I guess?

Thanks for the compliment, I can´t take all the credit though. My theme is based on one I found in the older parts of this forum, I have altered it to suit my needs.

Ok, so I have done some rfid research and the touchatag reader and tags still seems to have a lot of advantages. And if you read the developer info at http://www.touchatag.com/developer/devguide it seems you can make Touchatag work without the online connection. You would need the SDK at 149 dollars...

I just did what the readme said. I really don´t know what could be the problem.

Well, if you really want to have simple queries to get the data out of the database you shouldn´t have fields that contain different values. Design the db to be simple to query. A quick and dirty way in your case would be to have more than on field containing the genre values, "genre1", &q...
