i do this in another application but i dont have msaccess run the
scanner then automatically load the file. i have my staff scann the
file then attach it to the database then the database can then open it
and what not.

are you wanting the database to run the scanner or the latter.

You'll be really lucky if anyone know that but i can help you witht he
latter if you want.

as a note our scanner is our photocopier so it scans and emails the
user the document which he/she can then attach to the db.

It can be done. You can control Twain device through VBA... I had come
across the info on this very forum a while back.

I never went forward with the project to I'm affraid I can't provide you
with code, but dig through this forum and you should be able to find the
information you need.

FYI, MS' search is useless, you have to use Google Group Search tool if you
wish to actually find relevant information.

If your scanner emails you the scanned document again I don’t know how
to look into your email client and extract it i only know how to send
an email from VBA in GroupWise sorry.

Try to find what Daniel said to find if not ill try to help you set up
the attaching and opening thing I have some fresh tested and debugged
code in one of my systems I can try to modify with you for your
application.
