Try the Wang Imaging software. The most current version can be
downloaded
from Wangs web site. Microsoft also has it, but when I checked their
web
site a couple of weeks ago it was an older version.
Using the imaging software you can use the cameras Twain driver to bring
an image into your program. I experimented with it. The biggest
problem
I see was that I couldn't figure out a way to directly insert the image
into an Access database as an OLE object without an unacceptable
increase
in image size because of the image preview that was stored with it.
When I have the time, I want to experiment with copying the image to
disk as a TIFF file, then copying the file to the database to avoid
this overhead.
