[AccessD] Scanning from Access to a file

Well, that's even more expensive than the other one!

I did find that you can download the MS Image Acquisition Automation Library
v2.0 at

91c2-b7ea32537e29&DisplayLang=en


After registering the control and adding it to the library references, the
code is as simple as:

Dim commondialog1 As Object
Dim img As ImageFile
Set commondialog1 = CreateObject("wia.commondialog")
Set img = commondialog1.ShowAcquireImage
img.SaveFile ("c:\test.jpg")

Very simple and AFAIK, free.

Anyone have a control that I can use for scanning docs within Access. I ran
across DBPixA97 by AMMARA but it was $350 for a licensed version. Another
choice was VSTwain41 by VintaSoft that would cost $80 but I couldn't get
their unbranded version to work with Access. 

Anyone else know of a control that I could use or maybe some code?

I just want to scan the image and store the resulting file to the hard
drive. I would prefer a jpg file to keep the file small.

Thanks,

John
