Hi Nic, That would work... But we would like it a bit more stream lined... Say we have 30 'Jobs', each job has a cover sheet with a bar code on it and an unknown number of pages that want to be scanned and associated with that job.... So the system would scan the first page, see if it had a bar code, if it did (and the barcode was in the right format) it would recognize it as a new job coversheet and record all further pages without barcodes as belonging to that job...

I think Gary has done something like this.... dude, wanna comment?
