image capture

[Terry]

Hello,
I have built a warehouse/inventory application in Access
2k used to manage my warehouse/shipping operation.
All of the VBA, forms, etc have been fairly straight
forward to this point, but now I would like to do
something a little more fancy and need some
advise/direction.

I would like to build a form that I can use to capture
images from a USB 'web cam' attached to the computer. The
idea would be to capture an image of each RMA box that is
returned to our facility. I know from reading this
newsgroup for a couple of years that storing images in an
external file and not the database is preferred, and that
method is fine. Therefore, I'm thinking the image would be
captured, saved to a file, and a hyperlink stored in my
database.
The advise/direction I'm looking for are the type of
controls needed on my form to handle the image capture.

Thanks.

Terry

They have an activeX control you can use on an evaluation
license with no time limit as long as you only ever use
it for evaluation purposes.
