Manipulating scanner form database

[Emilio]

Is it possible to send a scan command to the scanner from Access database
through code, and if so, where can I find help on that question.
I would like to accquire document scan than save it as jpeg and create a
hyperlink to the file stored in a folder.
Thanx.
Emilio

Most scanners support the 'TWAIN' standard, and this is the most common way to integrate scanner functionality.

Some versions/installations of Windows include the Kodak/Wang imaging controls which can be used with TWAIN
scanners, but you may not find these on recent versions of Windows.

Alternatively there are several third-party components available - our 'DBPix' image control is one example
that is designed for Access and includes TWAIN support. The samples included with the download may be
exactly what you need (see the sig below for more info).
