I have checked with Microsoft directly on this and currently there is no way
to accomplish it. The issue is that the name of the credit card holder is
encoded in Track1 of the credit card. RMS can isolate the entire string
from Track1, but it has no mechanism to parse out the name from the string.
You have the option of printing on your receipts the contents of Track1 or
Track2 from the swiped credit card. To do this, just use variable
Tender.Track1 or Tender.Track2 in your XML receipt. You'll be able to see
the name there, but it will be mixed in with a bunch of gibberish numbers.

The only solution for this functionality (until Microsoft fixes it), is to
capture the Track1 contents in the database and then run a SQL script to
parse out the Name from the Track1 string.
I hope this clears things up. For the record, this functionality is pretty
standard with POS systems and SHOULD be built into the software.

Paul,
Thanks for the reply. I will try solution provided by you. In our old
credit card stanalone machine it used to print the name of the person.
Also it displayed Thank You message with personal name. I think
Microsoft should incorporate this in their new service pack.
