[AccessD] Looking for TWAIN ocx

Hi all

I have done some testing with a sample app Neal kindly provided which
uses the Kodak Imaging ocx controls.

It works fine with my old Agfa Snapscan test scanner - as long as I
don't run it in Access 2003.
Whatever I do (references, late binding etc. etc.), when moved to A2003
it refuses to talk with the twain driver - it is as if A2003 expects a
higher version or similar of the twain driver. Neither will the edit
control activate in A2003.

Also, I've been testing the WIA control but it doesn't seem to accept
my scanner, even though the MS Document System does recognize the
scanner. Perhaps this looks for both Twain and Wia scanners while the
WIA control only looks for WIA scanners?

I'm looking for a simple ocx/activex control/library to capture images
from a scanner in Access 2K. There are various available but the one's
I've seen seem to be built to take you to the moon and back. I don't
need editing, conversion etc. Just capture to the basic file types.
Specifically TIF.
 
I'll want to be able to specify path/name, file type, resolution. The
whole idea here is that I'm trying to remove a weak link, that being the
users saving with the wrong file names.
 
Does anyone have any recommendations?
 
Thanks,
Neal
