>>Is there a product which enables Fox to scan in from a form, and which will allow Fox to read the coordinates of the scanned images? Do you remember those battery tests we used to take in school? The kind where you needed a #2 pencil to fill in the bubbles? I have a client who has the forms and the equipment, but I don't know how to procede to integrate it into their VFP v.5 app. Espia doesn't do it. I've been in contact with their sales department, and it will read in a scanned image, but nothing will allow Fox to get the coordinates of those colored-in bubbles. Any suggestions?

Since I wrote that note, Vlad, I found out that their equipment wasn't as new as I would have liked--OK. It was junk. So now it's wide open as to the hardware, and therefore, the type it would bring in. In my admittedly limited experience, a BMP would take up too much space (scanning a full page in). I don't know--a TIF? I think those are smaller. If I get closer to the scanned image, I'll email it to you.

Why does it matter to you what format the images are? Is one better than another? Should I "shoot for" a certain kind?

Thanx,
JR
