I dont know the specifics of the camera you have, but here is a thought. My camera is USB enabled too, and because it is USB enabled, the camera is treated like a disk drive on my machine: the pictures in the camera are seen as files on the drive. If your camera is the same way, you may be able to copy the file from the "USB drive" to whereever you want them to go.

>>>A client called wants to know if it is possible and how to do it, to pull images from a USB PC Camera into a VFP app. I have given them the ability to pull images but they want to go direct. This is on a Win 2000 PC so their graphics program won't run. Since Win 2000 recognized the camera, how can I pull images from it?
