>Has somebody worked with controlling a Digital Camera using VFP?
Yes I did. The best way is to use TwainAcquire technique which allows VFP to hook up camera seamlessly. Most of third-party imaging OCXs (I use Leadtools OCX) have this feature, but unfortunately it has to be tested for each camera separately. For example, I can use it for Chinon but not for Pixera camera. If Twain method is not available you can start camera exe file using RUN command, then save image into file in Camera application and accept this file into VFP system. This way can be automated using Windows API functions.
