>I have a request from a client to be able to scan supporting documents from VFP. Has anyone ever done this that could help lead me in the right direction? Basically, they want a data entry form, and the ability to scan documents directly from the form by pressing on a "Scan" button to scan supporting documents for the data they are entering. Is this as simple as finding an ActiveX component, or does it require API calls to access the scanner Twain driver? Please respond if you have any information regarding this.

Yes, there are activex controls that are available to talk to Twain devices. I downloaded one from activex.com, and it was just a matter of Creating the object, and calling the method to activate the scanner. The test I did was very basic, but seemed to be pretty easily scaled up.
