How do I take a Picture from a webcam in Access?

[bagheera]

I have a big problem! and I will be very grateful if you will answer me. I have to acquire pictures from a video camera in an Access Database. I am doing this with cut and paste, but this procedure is too slow. Do you know something better? Maybe an add-in, or the starting point for writing myself some code for this job?

Describe the problem in more detail. Is it a video camera like you said in your post, or is it a web camera that takes snapshots, like it says in the title?

Is there a way for your camera to run automatically and save the results to a specific place? Are you asking if there is a way to control the camera though Access? What brand camera?

 

[bagheera]

Yes, I want to control it from the Access.
There is no psibility to work automatic and save on the disk.
The brand is Philips ToUcam XS.

Well, I did some research on your camera. It's a webcam, NOT a video camera. Webcameras can take pictures and save them to disk. I've yet to see one that can't.

You might have better luck asking Phillips on how to use your camera.
