Hi Paul Sounds like a job for csXImage which I have recommend several times: http://www.chestysoft.com/ximage/default.asp A fully functional trial is available for download. Scanners - not to say their buggy drivers - are nasty and unpredictable animals, and you will most likely - as I did - need the excellent support from Simon Chester. I believe he knows just about anything about scanners and their misbehaving. /gustav >>> paul.hartland at googlemail.com 30-07-2008 11:56 >>> To all, We have started scanning personnel photo's onto our employee database, I am using Visual Basic 6.0 and the business card scanner CardScan 800c. It works but is a bit clumsy i.e. when we scan a phto the user clicks a button which runs a macro to represent the keystrokes etc required by the CardScan software to process & save the employee's photo. The macro works by firing events/keystrokes depending on the name of the currently open CardScan window, however we now want our European divisions in Belgium & Netherlands to do this as well, the problem being that the macro will not recognise the window name as it will not be in English. Has anyone ever worked with CardScan scanning devices, so that perhaps I could use some sort of general driver to control the CardScan scanner and save the picture. The closest I have came is using GDTwain, which lets me tell the unit to scan and save the picture, but I don't seem to be able to control the resolution etc of the photos. Any help on this will be appreciated, and thank you in advance for any help on this.... -- Paul Hartland paul.hartland at googlemail.com
