Hi Bernard,

I use Espia after trying other 3rd party scanning/imaging software. Espia integrates very easily into VFP. I use it in a couple of my commercial VFP applications. You can find Espia at Halogram (the link is at the top of UT's page).

Here is a statement from Hallogram's Espia link:

******************************************************

Images, scanning, graphs and multimedia couldn't be easier! Use Espia's versatile class libraries to handle all your needs under Visual FoxPro.
Image Classes allow you to show JPG, TIF, GIF, Group IV, TGA, WPG, RAS, GEM, PIC, MSP, etc. images right on your Visual FoxPro forms AND reports without using OLE or cumbersome DLLs. Use memo fields, files or variables.

TWAIN Classes let you use Visual FoxPro to scan documents, capture digital photographs or video stills with any TWAIN compliant capture device.

Multimedia classes are also available.

With Espia's 32-bit Media Server and Class Libraries, all you need to do is pick a class from your VFP toolbar and drop it onto your form or report. It really is that easy.

******************************************************

I have had no problems using Espia, it really works like they say it does! The PRO edition which includes everything is a little pricy, but I believe it's worth the price. If you need additional information, just let me know.

HTH,

James
