I do not. I use a scanner separately, scan the documents into a batch of JPGs, and then import those images into the database.

Getting Access to communicate directly with a scanner is not much fun. The drivers and interfaces are different for every manufacturer, so there really is not one universal method I could make a useful video around.

The most practical approach I have found is to batch-scan the documents to JPG, PDF, or whatever image format you prefer, save them in a folder, and then import them into the database. That keeps the scanning process independent of Access and makes it much easier to maintain.

Juan I have found NAPS2 is an opensource scanner software that offers CLI's.  Without having tried anything myself, from reading it looks pretty doable to initiate a scan from a button on a form, name the file, save it to the location and append a record with filename, path, and date to a table.  Also, Naps2 works with a variety of scanners so changing hardware may not be terrible.

Thanks, guys. I guess I'll keep doing it the way Richard recommends. It has been working well so far. I just thought another approach might be useful now that I'm retired and only prepare one or two documents a month. It's not like when I was working and handling full contracts and deliverables.
