image scan control

[junkmail]

I am using the kodak image scan control using foxpro and I can't seem to get the _pagedone event to work properly. I want to do a specific task after the page has been scanned but when I put the code in either the scandone or pagedone event the code does not execute. I am probably doing something wrong please help. Additionally I am wondering if there is a way to load the activex control in such a manner that the computer does not need to actually have the software on it.

Thanks
Frank

In case you haven't found a solution..
I had the same problem: the Image Scan Control PageDone event would never fire!
I emailed Microsoft and got a prompt answer but only to inform me about where to look for help concerning that problem (MSDN, TechNet etc..)
Anyway here is the trick which I found by inserting a Scan control in VB and checking its properties, methods & events in the Object Browser:
This info differs from the Help file in that it adds the argument: PageNumber (about which that file is extremly vague and ..unhelpful) to the procedure. You don't need to pass it anything; it simply returns the Page Number of the page you just scanned.
Here is an example:

Sub ImgScan1_PageDone(PageNumber)
iScannedPages = iScannedPages + 1
window.status = "Scanning Page no " & PageNumber & " completed"
End Sub

I hope this will help you!

Cheers,
