at Microsoft's "HTA" technology ("Hypertext Application"). Using this you
can deliver a "web page" that has full system access and can (via Jscript
and COM) access local resource directly. All you would need to do is find a
client-side COM object for TWAIN (they're a few out there) and instantiate
it in the HTA.
If you find the right COM component you may even be able to access it
directly from within CF.
The information you collect can then be transferred to the web application
for storage/manipulation.
Of course all of this assumes you're using Windows.

Subject: Re: Driving a local scanner with CFMX
Though not a direct solution for you, you might want to look into (or
having) written a tag in Java either as a CFX or possibly through the
<cfimport> as a JSP tag.
There's a great article at
<a
href=""> ://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2002/jw-0726-twain.html</a> that
discusses using a Java swing application in a simple JNI-based package to
acquire TWAIN images. Using that information, it should be possible to
create a ColdFusion interface that would not only acquire scan's, but
images from other twain sources as well.
