[AccessD] WIAaut, Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition AutomationLayer

Hi Jim

But that is not my problem. It's not a proprietary SCSI card but an
Adaptec 2940, and the scanner is recognized by any other program that
can access a scanner including Microsoft Office Document Scanning!

wiaaut.dll should allow for automation of Microsoft Office Document
Scanning but reports a zero count of devices.

Hi Gustav:

I have the same problem with an old HP Scan jet that also uses some
proprietary SCSI card. I never have been able to get the piece of
hardware
to be recognized by any other programs.(?) A newer model scanner seems
to
have no problem. If you run into an answer please let me know and I
will do
some further investigation on my part.

Maybe check the driver dll that was sent with the scanner originally
and it
might give you a clue.  It must be a odd address call.

Jim

Hi all

I'm having trouble with this. 

I have a scanner installed which works fine with the GUI and MS
Document Imaging etc. of Office 2003.
However, my code - taken from the sample around - will not count my
scanner.
No errors, just no count.
What is missing?

  Dim CommonDialog1 As Object
  Dim DeviceManager1 As Object
  Dim i As Integer

  Set DeviceManager1 = CreateObject("WIA.DeviceManager")
  Set CommonDialog1 = CreateObject("WIA.CommonDialog")

  For i = 1 To DeviceManager1.DeviceInfos.Count
    MsgBox DeviceManager1.DeviceInfos(i).Properties("Name").Value &
vbCrLf & _
      "(" & DeviceManager1.DeviceInfos(i).DeviceID & ")"
  Next

WiaAut.dll is even referenced correctly. I obtained it here:

91c2-b7ea32537e29&DisplayLang=en#filelist

The scanner is Agfa SnapScan 1236 via SCSI, old and a bit slow but OK.
OS is WinXP SP2.
