>>>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.

>>You're right that BMP takes a lot of space. But if you work with BMP, you can use them directlly from VFP. Also, all Windows is build based on BMP (ie BMP is the main Windows format), so you can use Win32 API functions.

You can send it to me in any format. I can transform it.
