Merging Single tiff files into a multipage tiff file

[egstatus]

Hi all,
I need to merge single tiff files into a multipage tiff file using CCITT-4 compression.

I get about 200-1000 single tiff files from a vendor every 2-3 days, I am merging every 3 to 4 tiff files into a multipage file. But this process is time consuming when doing it manually.

My main concern now is how to merge few images into a multipage tiff file. As far as what tiff to merge, I'll will use a access db that will tell me the begging image and ending image to be merged; as well as the name of the multipage image created [name of image].

Can this be done using VB.NET 2008? I have searched for this topic without getting much help.

Thanks in advance.

Ed
