Is it possible to code a twain interface with vba?

[Alexandre]

Hi,

1. I am hoping to code a macro with vba (that stands for visual basic editor right?) that will allow me to get documents from a scanner (twain interface) programaticaly. Can vba allow me to do this

2. If not, is it possible to code a c/c++ program that will work "embedded" with infopath. (like a dll that gets executed by infopath

thanks for informatio

Hi Alexandre

1. I am hoping to code a macro with vba (that stands for visual basic

editor right?) that will allow me to get documents from a scanner (twain
interface) programaticaly. Can vba allow me to do this?

vba stands for Visual Basic for Applications edition which is a subset of
the VB language - There are a lot of third party controls that would allow
you to manipulate through a control twain controls www.componentsource.com
sell these type of things

2. If not, is it possible to code a c/c++ program that will work

"embedded" with infopath. (like a dll that gets executed by infopath)

Infopath has vb script interfaces I think that is not as rich but could
shell an external application I suppose but i am not quite sure what you are
trying to achieve, I know there is a new sp1 with some enhancements to the
programming interfaces for infopath which is a good thing but not worked
that heavily in infopath and not sure on your complete solution requirements
