How do I print to a file using question marks?
example: I want the following to put: this is my first line this is my last line in a file. ? ? ? 'this is my first line' ? ? 'this is my last line' I can do this if I set device to printer but that results in a page eject. Did it years ago but lost the source. Wes Wes Wilson, President ERW Custom Programming, Inc.

One of many problems with OLE is that it stores a blob (structured binary data) based on the original image/document, and also the application that stored it into the field, so if you were storing a BMP that's associated with MSPaint, MSPaint would be responsible for storing the data. If you had PaintShopPro on your machine, and associated JPGs with that, it would be PSP that was responsible for storing (and retrieving) the blob of data. I think the GUIDs of the associated executable were also embedded in the blob, along with a bitmap representation and the data. So, one way to try to reproduce this is to recreate one of the original workstations and the software used to store the data. However, since you LINK rather than EMBED, you have the images available outside the app (Whew, that's usually the big concern). So the question is how to link from free image to record. I guess it depends on the answers to the "somehow" questions above. If you're getting a 1429 error with a SYS(18) of "Can't find file G:\something\image.jpg" you could do a TRY...CATCH to get the error message and re-link (using a text link to filenames and/or paths) and discontinue use of the General field. With more info, perhaps we can supply more suggestions. (Author of "OLE is No Bull" introducing Object Linking and Embedding in FoxPro Advisor.

In house, a department will use the Fujitsu Scan Snap device to create PDF's of files. It gets configured to run a specific program after the scan is completed. If you need UI access after that, I know of a way to register an instantiated object as COM object in a UI window. As long as both are running as the same user on the workstation, it works. Our in house program does this UI part. Tracy Pearson PowerChurch Software On 28/03/2014 12:48 PM, Jeff Johnson wrote: > Anyone have good luck with scanning directly into VFP?

It's been years, but I used to do it very successfully, first with Kodak Imager (no longer available) and then with EZTwain (which was nowhere NEAR $999 at the time!) Vince: I noticed that EZTwain was about $200 not too long ago. Thanks for your input.

TWAIN was always a PITA as it requires changes to your main event loop. This doesn't work well with higher level languages like Fox. In the far past I wrote a VB6 app that used EZTWAIN. WIA is (was?) an alternative but not all drivers support this. -- Paul Isn't there also a c rtl .dll that needs to be contemporary with the vfp install and not more recent?
