To get the picture from your scanner into your PC is a totally different issue, to get this job done, you need to buy a scanning program which can be controlled by VFP. One of those program is ImageMan which you can read more about here: http://www.hallogram.com/imageman/index.html. But be prepared for a lot of reading and testing. :-)
