Besides, it was less work for me *LOL* The controls on the VFP can be toggled to display/hide the annotations pretty easily. The only problem I have is VFP5 crashes when closing either the dev environment or the runtime app once the scan form is brought up.

This is from one of my fellow programmers who worked on the scan portion of our applications:

I was having problems with a GPF error when closing the application because the following two lines of code were not being executed. They are methods on the scanner control.

thisform.oleScan.StopScan()
thisform.oleScan.CloseScanner()

Hope this may help...
