Trying to scan (using scanner) with VB6 or .net

[muthuivs]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I am writing a program that needs the user to scan in documents using either adobe or the software provided by the scanner makers (such as travelscan pro, etc). My program needs to have have button that says "SCAN DOCUMENT", and when it is pressed I need the program to automatically scan the document and ask if there are any more pages to scan, then saves the documents in a static folder. I am not sure how to tackle this and I am hoping(praying) that VB will allow me to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Scanners are typically addressed via the TWAIN interface which is what you'll need to do. There are many TWAIN ActiveX controls around that will work fine in VB just try Googling for them.
